+ Info

This is an original B2 Japanese poster, printed in 1984, for the release of “Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind” (風の谷のナウシカ).

Based on Miyazaki’s own manga, “Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind” tells the story of Nausicaä, the princess of a small nation who lives in a world devastated by a holocaust called the “Seven Days of Fire”. She tries to stop other warring nations from destroying themselves and from destroying the only means by which their world can be saved from the spread of polluted wastelands.

While created before Studio Ghibli was founded, the movie is often considered to be the beginning of the studio because of the involvement of Studio Ghibli’s Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata, Toshio Suzuki, Hideaki Anno and Joe Hisaishi. Because of this, Studio Ghibli generally includes Nausicaä as a “Ghibli film”.

This is the second promotional poster created for the film. Closely tied to the Nausicaä’s graphic novel, the image of Nausicaa on Kai (the horseclaw) reminds of the epic 40th page battle from volume 3.
