Exhibition Description

Studio Ghibli was founded in 1985 by renowned animation directors Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki. Takahata and Miyazaki insisted on producing their animation films basically by the traditional method of hand-drawn animation. This exhibition comprises over 1,300 items of layout design selected from works by Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki throughout their careers. The whole history of Studio Ghibli layout production will be on display, ranging from Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind to the latest released The Wind Rises and The Tale of The Princess Kaguya. Exhibits are drawn from the company’s popular major works including Castle in the Sky, My Neighbor Totoro, layouts from the early works and TV series produced before the founding of the company such as Heidi a girl of the Alps and Conan, The Boy in Future are also featured for a comprehensive view of their achievement.
