Hayao Miyazaki is a creator known for bringing imaginative, beautiful worlds to the screen. In celebration of his latest movie, The Wind Rises, VIZ is releasing a hardcover collection of artwork from the movie on April 8th. VIZ’s previous Studio Ghibli releases include biographies on Miyazaki and other art collections from movies such as Spirited Away, Porco Rosso, and Howl’s Moving Castle.
From VIZ:
The Wind Rises is Miyazaki’s cinematic love letter to the power of flight and the imagination, an examination of the rise of Japan’s military might in the years leading up to the Second World War, and a call for worldwide peace and harmony in the face of destruction. The film has won numerous awards including Best Animated Film from The National Board of Review and The New York Film Critics Circle as well as Best Animated Feature from The Toronto Film Critics Association and The San Francisco Film Critics Circle, among others. THE ART OF THE WIND RISES captures the art of the film, from conception to production, and features in-depth interviews with the filmmakers.
“The Wind Rises is an epic story set during an important era in Japan’s history, and we very excited to complement Miyazaki’s landmark film with the release of this wonderfully illustrated new hardcover art book,” says Masumi Washington, Senior Editorial Director. “THE ART OF WIND RISES captures the evolution of the designs and characters that brought this captivating story to life. Join us to celebrate the work of one of the world’s most visionary animation directors with this new release from our Studio Ghibli imprint.”
The art collection carries an MSRP of $34.99 U.S. / $39.99 CAN.
