RE: The Girl in the Bamboo -- A Japanese Folktale
Did you know there is a movie for this? It is from Ghibli studios. I pretty sure it is the same tale and it was really sad at the end. My kids loved it.
I totally recommend this film. The animation is unlike any I've seen before. A new look for studio Ghibli, while maintaining the imaginative, magical essence of the classics.
Yes, even though miyazaki retired. it is nice to see others from his studio continuing the art.
I did know that, but I haven't seen it. Maybe that can be next week's movie.
This story really has a lot of undertones and a few different versions. I didn't realize that when I started translating from the Japanese script I used as a reference. The more I looked into it, though, the more I found. In my text, I tried to keep it simple and plain without delving into the history of Kagura and other details that are often included in the story.
