This inconspicuous book, the first volume in the “Ghibli Textbook” series, is a real mine of knowledge for every fan of Studio Ghibli productions. Each volume is devoted entirely to one film – in this one you get to know the backstage of the production of “Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind”.
Inside you will find a lot of interesting information – conversations and essays of the creators, including a long conversation between Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata. Producer Toshio Suzuki reveals how a lost bet got Nausicaä to be filmed. Graphic designers and animators also share stories about working on the film (there even is a very interesting photo report.)
Among the sketches and designs, you will also find some texts that will help you interpret this majestic work of Hayao Miyazaki – many people share their thoughts: scientists, researchers of Japanese classics, people from the industry, such as anime director Hideaki Anno and actress Hikari Mitsushima…
