Artist Profile:
Studio Ghibli has been built up by directors Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki.
Starting with Miyazaki's “Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind” (1984), followed by “The Wind Rises” (Miyazaki) and “The Tale of Princess Kaguyahime” (Takahata) in 2013, each film is the culmination of their work.

The “layout” introduced here is a single sheet of paper that depicts everything that will be expressed in the cut, including the positioning of the background and characters, movement instructions, camera work, and filming process, and is equivalent to a blueprint in film.
Layout in animation production plays an important role in maintaining a sense of unity in the work, and is filled with the creators' imagination, expressing the characters' sense of speed and dynamism, and even the cinematic composition of space.
This art book will explore the secrets of Studio Ghibli's works, focusing on the work of directors Takahata and Miyazaki, by deciphering the “layouts” that are filled with the fascination of animation.

Studio Ghibli has produced some of the most beloved animated films in history, including “My Neighbor Totoro,” “Spirited Away,” and “Grave of the Fireflies,” and is highly regarded for its meticulous hand-drawn animation, powerful storytelling, and deep emotional themes.
