The works of Hayao Miyazaki are rich, beautiful and brimming with wonder. Castles, Forests and Bath Houses explores these worlds and the unique people that inhabit them: from feisty forest spirits, ancient gods and heroes to demons, mechanical constructs and even one wily thief... Themes from Miyazaki's movies will be explored as well, and how they fit into the Japanese idea of mystery, wonder and modern society. The material is supplemented with quotes taken from Miyazaki's essays and interviews.
