Japanese Art
Hayao Miyazaki is a child of war traumatized by the atomic bomb, but he is also heir to a Japanese culture in which the harmonious relationship with nature is key. This sense of peace and harmony can be found in Japanese painting and prints from as early as the 17th and 18th century. For example, Hiroshige’s famous views of Edo or Hokusai’s
The Wave. It is this harmonious, linear painting that goes on to influence Van Gogh: " We love Japanese painting, we’ve experienced its influence—all the Impressionists have that in common.”
