The Worlds of Hayao Miyazaki

The Worlds of Hayao Miyazaki is a journey through the stories, ideas and inspirations behind the films of one of cinema’s most influential visionaries. Often called the godfather of animation, Miyazaki is the co-founder of Studio Ghibli and the creative force behind some of the most beloved animated films of all time. The book explores the rich mix of cultural, historical and artistic influences that shape his storytelling. From Japanese folklore, to childhood memories of European architecture. It is a celebration of creative freedom, storytelling without limits, and the enduring power of animation.

The overarching graphic language of the book is inspired by the traditional Japanese vertical writing style ‘tategaki’. The textured colour wash panels used throughout the design are a nod to the hand painted watercolour backdrops Studio Ghibli, and Miyazaki himself, still use to this day.

The Worlds of Hayao Miyazaki is available in all good bookshops.
