The Stories of Studio Ghibli

To celebrate the overseas release of The Boy and the Heron (aka How Do You Live?) RJL delves into the stories that inspire animator Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli, especially

• Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
• Howl’s Moving Castle
• My Neighbor Totoro

We’ll end with a deep dive into Kiki’s Delivery Service—the Ghibli film and the novel by Eiko Kadano (as translated by Emily Balistrieri).
