Princess Mononoke !!TOP!!


In the late 1970s, Miyazaki drew sketches of a film about a princess living in the woods with a beast.[9] Miyazaki began writing the film's plotline and drew the initial storyboards for the film in August 1994.[10][11] He had difficulties adapting his early ideas and visualisations, because elements had already been used in My Neighbor Totoro and because of societal changes since the creation of the original sketches and image boards. This writer's block prompted him to accept a request for the creation of the On Your Mark promotional music video for the Chage and Aska song of the same title. According to Toshio Suzuki, the diversion allowed Miyazaki to return for a fresh start on the creation of Princess Mononoke. In April 1995, supervising animator Masashi Ando devised the character designs from Miyazaki's storyboard. In May 1995, Miyazaki drew the initial storyboards. That same month, Miyazaki and Ando went to the ancient forests of Yakushima, of Kyushu, an inspiration for the landscape of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, and the mountains of Shirakami-Sanchi in northern Honshu for location scouting along with a group of art directors, background artists and digital animators for three days.[10] Animation production commenced in July 1995.[11] Miyazaki personally oversaw each of the 144,000 cels in the film,[12][13] and is estimated to have retouched parts of 80,000 of them.[14] The final storyboards of the film's ending were finished only months before the Japanese premiere date.[15]




Princess Mononoke



Ashitaka eventually arrives in an area that is prowled by Moro, a wolf god, and sees for the first time the young woman named San. She is also known as "Princess Mononoke," but that's more a description than a name; a mononoke is the spirit of a beast. San was a human child, raised as a wolf by Moro; she rides bareback on the swift white spirit-wolves and helps the pack in their battle against the encroachments of Lady Eboshi, a strong ruler whose village is developing ironworking skills and manufactures weapons using gunpowder.


At the end of the 1970s, Hayao Miyazaki had written a screenplay and made sketches for a film featuring a princess living in the forest with a wild beast. According to French fansite Buta Connection, the story was steeped in Japanese history and folklore, but echoed the Western fairy tale Beauty and the Beast. The story of Miyazaki's version, although very different, is as follows:


The story then passes from a fairy tale to a more complex and ambitious work, rather approaching the legend or the mythological story. The main character becomes a young boy, Ashitaka, in search of a cure for a curse he has suffered. As for the princess, by marrying a Mononoke, she becomes a Mononoke herself.


Enraged by such carelessness, the animal Gods of the forest lead an army of wolves and boars to besiege Irontown. During one of their attacks, Ashitaka catches a glimpse of a human girl, San, riding atop a large white wolf. When he discovers a government plot to kill the Great Forest Spirit, the young prince joins with this princess of the forest to help stop the conflict before the spreading darkness can snuff out all life in region.


The story follows a young Emishi prince named Ashitaka, and his involvement in a struggle between the gods of the forest and the humans who consume its resources. The term mononoke, is not a name, but a Japanese word for supernatural, shape-shifting beings that possess people and cause suffering, disease, or death.


From beloved Studio Ghibli, this paperback journal showcases the brilliant artistry behind Princess Mononoke, an epic film about a young warrior, an enigmatic princess, and the conflict between humanity and nature.


In recent years, Disney has begun to question the notion that all a princess needs is the unwavering affection of a besotted suitor, most notably and successfully in Frozen (2013). But Miyazaki was way ahead of the curve in this regard, and is here reluctant to propagate the myth that true love conquers all.
