Hayao Miyazaki. The genius of Japanese animation. Shaptal S.

Hayao Miyazaki is a living legend of not only Japanese, but also world animation. The owner of dozens of awards and the idol of millions of people of different ages throughout the globe made a name at the expense of bright images, strong characters and a magnificent visual. In this book, the French journalist Stefani Shapttal is looking for the origins of the main topics of the director’s work, and also speaks with the animators who came to the profession thanks to Miyazaki.

This book is not just an analysis of cartoons, this is a tribute to the great multiplier and an attempt to understand where the cult of Hayao Miyazaki came from, and what will happen to Japanese animation after he retires.
