Th e aim here is to highlight the major resources (in English) that students and research- ers might fi nd helpful, so it is not an exhaustive list. Rather, this guide is intended as a starting point for future bibliographies, and as a recommended set of read- ings for those interested in fi nding out more about Princess Mononoke , Hayao Miyazaki or anime in general. Th ere is also a fi lmography at the end of this book, for suggestions for further viewing. Mononokehime and Princess Mononoke Denison, Rayna. ‘Th e Language of the Blockbuster: Promotion, Princess Mononoke and the Daihitto in Japanese Film Culture’ in Leon Hunt and Leung Wing- Fai (eds), East Asian Cinemas: Exploring Transnational Connections on Film (London and New York: I. B. Tauris, 2008a), pp. 103– 22. Th is chapter in East Asian Cinemas is one of the fi rst to tackle Miyazaki’s success in Japan. In it, I build on the work of Chris Berry (2003) to suggest that the daihitto fi lm culture in Japan has helped to turn Miyazaki’s Mononokehime into a ‘local’ blockbuster fi lm. Hoff Kraemer, Christine. ‘Between the Worlds: Liminality and Self- Sacrifi ce in Princess Mononoke ’, Journal of Religion & Film , vol. 8, no. 2 (2016), Article 1. http:// digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/ jrf/ vol8/ iss2/ 1 (accessed 16 June 2017). In this article, Hoff Kraemer explores the relationship between the pro- tagonists of Princess Mononoke . She infers the use of religious allegory in the positioning of Ashitaka as saviour/ mediator between the warring factions of Princess Mononoke . McCarthy, Helen. Hayao Miyazaki: Master of Japanese Animation (Berkeley, CA: Stone Bridge Press, 1999). McCarthy’s book was the fi rst English- language work on Hayao Miyazaki, and even though it was not written as an academic textbook, the meticulous research and careful attention to detail mean that it is still a treasure trove of information. Although the chapter on Princess Mononoke is just one among many, McCarthy expertly argues that this fi lm needs to be understood in 99781501329760_pi-220.indd781501329760_pi-220.indd 119393 111/1/20171/1/2017 44:21:09:21:09 PPMM 194 194 A Guide to Further Research relation to Miyazaki’s history and oeuvre of fi lms, but also covers the fi lm’s major themes. Napier, Susan. Anime from Akira to Howl’s Moving Castle (New York: Palgrave, 2005). [Specifi cally Chapter 12, ‘ Princess Mononoke: Fantasy, the Feminine, and the Myth of Progress’, pp. 231– 48.] Napier’s book is one of the fi rst to tackle anime as an academic subject, and it remains one of the best. Napier contends that there are three diff ering modes of anime storytelling: the apocalyptic, the carnival and the elegiac. In chapter 12, she argues that Princess Mononoke fi ts two of these modes, func- tioning as an apocalyptic elegy for a lost period in Japanese history, and for the potential it off ered women. Napier’s deep engagement with women’s rep- resentations in Princess Mononoke is matched by her concern to investigate Miyazaki’s environmental theme, which is where she locates the apocalyptic elegy within the fi lm. Tucker, John A. ‘Anime and Historical Inversion in Miyazaki Hayao’s Princess Mononoke ’, Japan Studies Review , vol. 7, no. 1 (2003), pp. 65– 102. Th is article off ers a great introduction to the historical time periods that Miyazaki palimpsests in Princess Mononoke . Tucker’s wide- ranging, thought- ful analysis repeatedly demonstrates how carefully Miyazaki approached the representation of history in Princess Mononoke . Yoshida, Koari. ‘National Identity (Re)Construction in Japanese and American Animated Film: Self and Other Representation in Pocahontas and Princess Mononoke ’, Electronic Journal of Contemporary Japanese Studies , September 2011. http:// www.japanesestudies.org.uk/ articles/ 2011/ Yoshida.html (accessed 16 June 2017). Th is is a much newer essay on the representations of marginalized people in Princess Mononoke that interrogates the way identity is constructed through notions of the self and other. Yoshida’s analysis is built upon a thoroughly researched understanding of the Japanese context for Princess Mononoke and is therefore very useful to anyone looking to make connections between the characters and Japanese culture or history. Primary/ Reference Sources: Industry and Commentary Biodrowsky, Steve. ‘Changing Sake into Wine – Neil Gaiman on Adapting “Princess Mononoke” for America’, Cinefantastique Online , 5 February 2009. http:// cinefantastiqueonline.com/ 2009/ 02/ changing- sake- into- wine- neil- gaiman- on- adapting- princess- mononke- for- america/ (accessed 9 May 2016). Th is is a fascinating interview with Neil Gaiman in which Biodrowsky teases out the diffi culties inherent in trying to localize Princess Mononoke . 99781501329760_pi-220.indd781501329760_pi-220.indd 119494 111/1/20171/1/2017 44:21:09:21:09 PPMM 1 95 A Guide to Further Research 195 Clements, Jonathan and Helen McCarthy. Th e Anime Encyclopedia: Revised & Expanded Edition (Berkeley, CA: Stone Bridge Press, 2006). Written by two of the world’s most knowledgeable anime critics, this ever- expanding encyclopaedia of anime has seen many updates and expansions, something that scholars should hope that the authors are willing to keep doing. With insightful overviews and very helpful fi lm analyses, this is the perfect ref- erence work for those with an interest in anime. Drazen, Patrick. Anime Explosion! Th e What? Why? and Wow! of Japanese Animation (Berkeley, CA: Stone Bridge Press, 2003). While not an academic book, Drazen’s account of anime off ers loving atten- tion to the details of its history and reveals much about the way it moved between Japan and the United States. It contains some very useful background information about Miyazaki, Isao Takahata and the production culture at Studio Ghibli. Miyazaki, Hayao. Starting Point 1979– 1996 , trans. Beth Cary and Frederik L. Schodt (San Francisco, CA: VIZ Media, 2009 [1996]). Miyazaki, Hayao. Turning Point 1997– 2008, trans. Beth Cary and Frederik L. Schodt (San Francisco, CA: VIZ Media 2014 [2009]). Th ese two volumes of translated interviews are a goldmine for any stu- dent of Hayao Miyazaki’s fi lmmaking. Th ey give you access to materials never- before translated into English, including Miyazaki’s initial production pitches, interviews from throughout his career and also talks about how he sees the world beyond fi lmmaking. Th ese two volumes were originally pub- lished in Japanese, and have been painstakingly translated for the English market by Beth Cary and Frederik L. Schodt. Schodt is already well- known to manga and anime fans as the author of Manga! Manga! Th e World of Japanese Comics (1983). Patten, Fred. Watching Anime, Reading Manga: 25 Years of Essays and Reviews (Berkeley, CA: Stone Bridge Press, 2004).

Denison, Rayna. Anime: A Critical Introduction (London: Bloomsbury, 2015). [Specifi cally chapter 7, ‘Ghibli Genre: Toshio Suzuki and Studio Ghibli’s Brand Identity’, pp. 117– 32.] My introduction to anime is part of a fi lm genres series at Bloomsbury Press, so it focuses on the history of genres in anime from the earliest moments of anime to the contemporary period. Chapter 7 looks at the way Studio Ghibli has taken on diff erent meanings at home and abroad; essentially becoming a animation genre in the United States, while becoming a powerful brand name in other parts of the world. Th e chapter looks at Toshio Suzuki’s role in turning Ghibli into one of Japan’s most powerful animation studios. Hu, Tze- Yue. Frames of Anime: Culture and Image- Building (Hong Kong: Hong Kong University Press, 2010). [Specifi cally chapter 6 , ‘Miyazaki and Takahata Anime Cinema’, Kindle Edition.] Although it does not mention Studio Ghibli in its title, Hu’s use of Miyazaki and his Studio Ghibli partner, Isao Takahata, to tell the story of anime’s devel- opment and rapid change from the 1980s onwards is an excellent introduction to Miyazaki’s studio. She moves from studying authorship and style through to Takahata and Miyazaki’s shared themes, particular ecology, which would be useful to those studying Princess Mononoke. Lamarre, Th omas. Th e Anime Machine: A Media Th eory of Animation (Minneapolis, MN: University of Minnesota Press, 2009). Lamarre’s book presents a strong analysis of anime’s techniques and produc- tion processes in an eff ort to reveal what is unique to, and special about, anime.

Among these, Mononokehime ( Princess Mononoke , 1997) and the period leading up to it from the early 1990s, as I argue in this chapter, had a great impact on the rest of Miyazaki’s career. In the fi rst section of this chapter, I discuss how Miyazaki grew sceptical about the style of his fi lmmaking as a result of cataclysmic changes in the political and social situation both in and outside Japan; in essence, he questioned his production of entertainment fi lms featuring adventures with (pseudo- )European settings, and began to look for something more ‘substantial’. Th e result was a grave and complex story about civilization set in medieval Japan, which was based on aca- demic discourses on Japanese history, culture and identity.

  • Introducing Studio Ghibli James Rendell and Rayna Denison Many
    Introducing Studio Ghibli James Rendell and Rayna Denison Many readers of this special issue of the Journal of East Asian Popular Culture will already feel that they know Studio Ghibli. Famously founded in 1985 by animation film directors Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata, along with then-magazine editor, Toshio Suzuki, Studio Ghibli has dominated Japan’s box office since the mid-1990s. Furthermore, thanks to an international distribution deal with Buena Vista International, a subsidiary of Disney, Hayao Miyazaki’s films have become well-known transnational phenomena, garnering international film festival awards and even an Oscar. This international recognition sits alongside the work undertaken by a legion of active fans who have likewise promoted Miyazaki and Ghibli’s works outside Japan. However, reflecting on the studio’s closure in 2014 – after nearly 30 years of film, television and other kinds of production – there are still many aspects of Studio Ghibli that remain obscure. Despite recent rumours that Miyazaki may be coming out of retirement one last time (a pattern he has been repeating since the late 1990s), the (perhaps temporary) moth-balling of Studio Ghibli’s feature production efforts in 2014 presents the scholars in this collection with an opportunity to reconsider Studio Ghibli’s local and global significance. This special edition of the Journal of East Asian Popular Culture is therefore intended to strategically address some of the gaps in anime scholarship, and in the scholarship around Studio Ghibli. In this introduction we also seek to provide a more holistic understanding of what Studio Ghibli is, whose work it represents and how it has become a success both at home and abroad.

  • The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness
    A Film by Mami Sunada THE KINGDOM OF DREAMS AND MADNESS A look inside the fantastically mad world of the people behind Studio Ghibli PRESENTED BY Dwango IN COOPERATION WITH Studio Ghibli PRODUCED BY Nobuo Kawakami WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY Mami Sunada MUSIC BY Masakatsu Takagi PRODUCTION COMPANY ENNET Technical Specification FORMAT Digital ASPECT RATIO 1920 x 1080 SOUND 5.1ch COLOR Color RUNNING TIME 118 minutes LANGUAGE Japanese with subtitles PRODUCTION YEAR 2013 COPYRIGHT NOTICE © 2013 dwango ABOUT THE FILM There have been numerous documentaries about Studio Ghibli made for television and for DVD features, but no one had ever conceived of making a theatrical documentary feature about the famed animation studio. That is precisely what filmmaker Mami Sunada set out to do in her first film since her acclaimed directorial debut, Death of a Japanese Salesman. With near-unfettered access inside the studio, Sunada follows the key personnel at Ghibli – director Hayao Miyazaki, producer Toshio Suzuki and the elusive “other” director, Isao Takahata – over the course of approximately one year as the studio rushes to complete their two highly anticipated new films, Miyazaki’s The Wind Rises and Takahata’s The Tale of The Princess Kaguya. The result is a rare glimpse into the inner workings of one of the most celebrated animation studios in the world, and a portrait of their dreams, passion and dedication that borders on madness. DIRECTOR: MAMI SUNADA Born in 1978, Mami Sunada studied documentary filmmaking while at Keio University before apprenticing as a director’s assistant under Hirokazu Kore-eda and others.

C h a p t e r 5 B RINGING IT A LL T OGETHER : S TUDIO G HIBLI Several months aft er the Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind manga started its run in 1982, Miyazaki was hired, along with his colleagues Isao Takahata, Yasuo Ō tsuka, and Yoshifumi Kond ō , to take part in the production of Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland . Th e ambitious American/Japanese coproduction adapted the classic comic strip by cartoonist and animation pioneer Winsor McCay about a boy who, each night, goes on a strange adventure in his dreams. McCay’s work had many fans on both sides of the Pacifi c: in fact, the project was initiated by Japanese producer Yutaka Fujioka, the president of Tokyo Movie Shinsha, the studio that previously employed Miyazaki and Takahata on Moomins , the Panda! Go Panda! fi lms, and the Lupin productions. Many other notable fi gures have been involved with diff erent stages of the production including Jean Giraud, renowned science fi ction author Ray Bradbury, and screenwriter Chris Columbus (future director of the early Harry Potter fi lms).

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1 . See, for example, Mitsuhiro Yoshimoto’s review article “Anime from Akira to Princess Mononoke: Experiencing Contemporary Japanese Animation. By Susan J. Napier” in The Journal of Asian Studies , 61(2), 2002, pp. 727–729. 2 . Key texts relevant to these thinkers are as follows: Gilles Deleuze, Cinema I and Cinema II (London: Athlone Press, 1989); Jacques Ranciere, The Future of the Image (London and New York: Verso, 2007); Brian Massumi, Parables for the Virtual: Movement Affect, Sensation (Durham: Duke University Press, 2002); Slavoj Žižek, The Sublime Object of Ideology (London and New York: Verso, 1989); Steven Shaviro, The Cinematic Body (Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 1993). 3 . This is a recurrent theme in The Anime Machine – and although Lamarre has a carefully nuanced approach to the significance of technology, he ultimately favours an engagement with the specificity of the technology as the primary starting point for an analysis of the “animetic” image: see Lamarre, 2009: xxi–xxiii. 4 . For a concise summing up of this point and a discussion of the distinction between creation and “fabrication” see Collingwood, 1938: pp. 128–131. 5 . Lamarre is strident critic of such tendencies – see The Anime Machine , p. xxviii & p. 89. 6 . “Culturalism” is used here to denote approaches to artistic products and artefacts that prioritize indigenous traditions and practices as a means to explain the artistic rationale of the content. While it is a valuable exercise in contextualization, there are limits to how it can account for creative processes themselves. 7 . Shimokawa Ōten produced Imokawa Mukuzo Genkanban no Maki (The Tale of Imokawa Mukuzo the Concierge ) which was the first animated work to be shown publicly – the images were retouched on the celluloid.
