• Gorgeous and distinctive in it being hand-drawn and almost sketched and airy not only compared to most Hollywood animation but films like only yesterday and others from studio Ghibli
  • Takahata 78 years old at time
  • Soft pastel colors- pinks, lavender, light greens over and over again to create a visual rhythm
  • Based on Japanese folk lore
  • “princess bamboo”- again almost pantheistic
  • Fable
  • Flowers and birds and a woman coming of again
  • Recommend but on the lower side despite the visual beauty and distinct patterns
