Taneyamagahara no Yoru (Japan Version)
In honor of the 110th anniversary of the birth of writer Miyazawa Kenji, Studio Ghibli is releasing two short films based on the writer’s work. Gauche the Cellist, a 1982 production directed by Takahata Isao, is being re-released, and will be joined by a brand new work based on a 1924 play by Miyazawa: Taneyamagahara no Yoru (“Night of Taneyamagahara”). This 27 minute film marks the directorial debut of background artist Oga Kazuo, and features the original Japanese language track plus standard and regional Japanese subtitles.
Miyazawa’s works contain many themes that are similar to those in Studio Ghibli’s films, including a focus on man and his evolving relationship with nature. “Taneyamagahara” refers to a mountain in Japan’s Kitakami mountain range, and was a favorite spot of the author, whose renown in Japan has only grown since his death in 1933 at the young age of 37. Another famous work by Miyazawa was Ginga Tetsudo no Yoru, which was adapted into the 1985 animated film Night on the Galactic Railroad..
