Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind: Watercolor Impressions

A must-have item for the fans of Nauicaa and Miyazaki. A sturdy hard cover with sewn binding.

Fantastic art for studio Ghibli fans

If you like the Nausicaä manga, this is essential reading. If you are after film stills and cel art, get "The Art Of Nausicaä" ISBN 978-4-19-814560-6 instead (only in Japanese). As the title suggests, this book only contains (beautiful) watercolor art, mostly for the promotional and cover art material related to the manga and concept art for the film.

I really love Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind and this book is perfect for anyone who loves it too. It shows lots of watercolour paintings Hayao Miyazaki has painted and also features his comments on them and what they were used for. Also included are many sketches he drew when designing the film and seeing Nausicaa develop is very interesting. Contains maps, diagrams and sketches for the film too.Super!

some truly stunning art work in a beautifully presented book with funny and insightful commentary to go along with it!
