Both stories tell a man's life without dialogue in imaginative ways. Perhaps the greatest aspect of both is how a story of a person's life can be told in such a short amount of time. Furiko clocks in about 3 minutes while Small Cubes took about 10 minutes. With a twist of creativity, a normal life is told within minutes that creates a lasting impression on anyone who appreciates simplicity and art.
Both series have a very similar nostalgic feeling and are about the events that happen in a life time.
Both shorts are a wide view over their character's lives. Furiko approaches this with a more detached third person view, yet is set in a world much like our own. House of Small Cubes coveys this through mementos and the memories of its character, and takes place in a symbolic world where the past literally cannot be revisited.

You don't need words to tell a beautiful story. "Pendulum" and "La Maison en Petits Cubes" are simplistic, silent, and beautiful animations that explore a man's journey through love and life. Subtle symbolism, a relaxing style of storytelling, and light music leave these two shorts among the most unlikely tearjerkers since the opening sequence of the Disney movie, "Up".
Both are silent shorts telling the story of a man's life from youth until old age; basically they're both like those 7 good minutes of the movie Up.

Two (very) short and silent movies that manage to win the hearts of most audiences. Both tell the story of our character's life but they do so in very different ways.
Furiko is a summary of the story of a couple from the moment they first meet seen through a pendulum obviously symbolizing the passage of time while Tsumiki no Ie is more like a collection of the main character's flashbacks as he dives deeper and deeper into his past.
They are ideal if you're looking for something "short and sweet" and as you'll spend more time reading reviews on them than actually watching them I advice

-Both are short movies
-Both are about the life of an old man
-Both are mute
-Both are really emotional
-Both are really short to see, so go on!
As life goes on, as a man's life develops over time, where he sees that love he can not leave behind. Two shorts that put life in the most tangible way, with happy and unhappy parts, but still appreciating the most important moments.

Both shorts about time and how frustrating the passage of it can be. Can really get some suprising emotion out of you with not a lot of complexity in it's visuals.
Both are meaningful shorts about life and how time flies by, reminding us of our final destiny.
They're both short emotional anime with no dialogue that are about the life of an old man.

The passing of time brings memories to return to though, one of which is life in itself and the distance that has been travelled. Tsumiki and Furiko both follow two stories of an individual's lives and the events that have arisen from such.
They are both shorts, which are clever in how they present their stories. Other than that, they are pretty good to watch and I would suggest everyone give them a go.
