Spirited Away is one of my favourite films. I have the book about the movie and it's interesting to see the parallels with the natural world, with both Yubaba and Zeniba being called "Granny". I also like The Police song allusion, even if it might be subconscious!
It's a beautiful, large format book, edited by Ghibli Studios under the direction of Miyazaki-san. It includes concept sketches, background art, story boards and the English film script: 'The Art of Miyazaki's Spirited Away' (ISBN 978-1-56931-777-8)
Beautiful Claudia! And so bizarre, because we were on the same wavelength the week you wrote this. I wrote some very similar things about water a day after, although I only read your essay now and had no idea. Water was on my mind after following the rivers on our family camping trip.

There’s a book about the movie? I love Spirited Away, time to watch it again. My favorite from Miyazaki is Nausicaa of the valley.
The Police reference was intentional 🙃

Wow 😮 didn’t know about this. I’ll have to check it out!

What a beautiful coincidence, Alia. There's something about water... I'll have to read your piece 💚.
