Castle in the sky robot7/15/2023 The son of an aeronautical engineer, Miyazaki grew up as Japan rebuilt itself in the middle of the 20th century he was born into a generation with a keen understanding of his country’s past and present. In Miyazaki’s work, there’s a constant tension at play between nature and machines, between the tranquility of rural Japan and the industrial revolution of its post war era. How does humanity square its thirst for progress while at the same time protecting the environment? Can technology and nature exist side by side, or will our destructive tendencies always get in the way? Those are questions that underscore many of Hayao Miyazaki’s films, from the lighter-than-air eco fable Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind to his final animated feature, The Wind Rises.
