Hayao Miyazaki

I am a big fan of Mr. Miyazaki-san's work and also Studio Ghibli. Ever watch Totoro, or Spirited Away? All of Studio Ghibli's films were bought by Disney awhile back, with the promise that they would only add English, true to the Japanese words. I have them all...many of them in Japanese...thanks to my daughter, who lived in Japan for six years! There is a new film coming out next month and I am so excited!! I have just pre-ordered it and can't wait for it to arrive. By the way, the new header above is Totoro waiting for the bus to come. I "borrowed" the photo from a group on Ravelry.com. It's almost lunchtime...think I'll go fix some Ramen noodles.

he is adorable. I have never seen the movies but have seen him many times.

Charming! I've never seen the movies, either, but a lot of my on-line buddies talk about this and other Japanese style pieces like it.

I'm a bit friend of Miyazaki too. Sometimes I don't really understand the story lines... not because I don't understand Japanese but because he has so many hidden meanings in his movies. His artwork is outstanding! Did you know there is a museum of his work in Japan that you have to make reservations to visit? Haven't been there yet but some day...
