Lovely!! I've read other books created by Studio Ghibli before, with collections of artwork from specific movies. This one does not disappoint! A very beautiful and thoughtful analysis on architecture.

I am a huge fan of Studio Ghibli and was excited to see an almost behind the scenes of some of the most iconic movies out there. I think this is a great book for all who love the movies. It's simply beautiful and I could flip through it over and over

As someone who was deeply shaped and affected by the creative works from Studio Ghibli, I can confirm this adds a secret love to the world.

My first film experience from Studio Ghibli was Spirited away, the Cat returns, and then Howl's moving castle. As I grew up and discovered more of the Studios works, it kept burning a passion for magic and wonder that I use to think only lived in you when you were a kid.
In Studio Ghibli: Architecture in Animation we see earlier concept drawings of many films; Howl's, Kiki, Ponyo and more. Each glimpse into the art and design of the film shares moments from history in Japan and explanations surround the look and feel the Architecture helps portray.
This book holds a lot of historical elements to it that added to the experience as it does with the films.

Nice bonus was an interview with studio creator, the famous Hayao Miyazaki, towards the end.
Fun Fact: I just went to Japan and I think I actually bought this book (in Japanese) as a gift for someone.

It is great to see the less recognized parts of Ghibli animation, at least in print, get the praise that they deserve in print.
