How do you live?

I’m a big fan of Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli films and can’t wait for the release of Miyazaki’s next film to be released in 2023, How Do You Live? The film is based on a 1937 novel of the same name by Genzaburo Yoshino and is about 15-year-old Junichi Honda and his life after the death of his father.

Miyazaki “retired” in 2013 after making the film The Wind Rises, and chose to create How Do You Live? simply because he wanted to. These words from Miyazaki speak to the heart of his perspective on creating and obvious love of what he does: “Whenever someone creates something with all their heart, then that creation is given soul.”
