Ghibli The Art Of Nausicaä

Although Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind was technically finished before Studio Ghibli was established, it is often thought to be the genesis of the company itself and as such is often retroactively regarded as the first in the series of movies Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata went on to produce together. Like many of Miyazaki’s works, Nausicaä bears a strong environmental message and tells the story of a far future world which has been ruined by war and pollution. The titular princess Nausicaä must stop a neighbouring country from using a dangerous weapon to eradicate the giant insects which populate the nearby jungle. This art book from Tokuma features some of the great artwork produced for the film which has now become a landmark in the history of world animation! Perfect for fans of Studio Ghibli, this book shows some of the early work of the master Hayao Miyazaki who has since gone on to become perhaps the premier animation director working today.
