“[pitching the proposal for Mononoke-hime (1997)] There cannot be a happy ending to the fight between the raging gods and humans. However, even in the middle of hatred and killings, there are things worth living for. A wonderful meeting, or a beautiful thing can exist. We depict hatred, but it is to depict that there are more important things. We depict a curse, to depict the joy of liberation. What we should depict is, how the boy understands the girl, and the process in which the girl opens her heart to the boy. At the end, the girl will say to the boy, “I love you, Ashitaka. But I cannot forgive humans.” Smiling, the boy should say, “That is fine. Live with me.” ― Hayao Miyazaki

“I made Yakkul because I somehow felt it would be easier to draw an imaginary animal. The other reason is that if I had a boy riding a horse with a Japanese sword and a topknot (a typical hairstyle of Japenese in period dramas), he would be a samurai. Then he would be associated with the image of a samurai which existing period dramas have built. But I didn’t want that. I wanted to have a boy, not a samurai boy, in the movie.”

“At this point, he is hiding his face to show that he is a non-person. Actually, at the moment he cut his topknot off, he was no longer human. Cutting one’s topknot in a village has that meaning. So, it looks like Ashitaka leaves of his own will, but actually, the village forces him to leave.”

“I think, Ashitaka cannot negotiate well when he goes to the market. The Northeast area, where Ashitaka’s village was, used to produce gold. So Ashitaka just offered a gold grain instead of money, not knowing the value of it.”

“What Eboshi is trying to do is to build a paradise as she thinks of it. Hence, she is a person of the 20th century. She has a clear ideal and can take action. She wouldn’t hesitate to kill, sacrifice, or even sacrifice herself. I think she is that kind of person. And that somehow jives with the big experiments humans conducted during the 20th century, or what socialism did.”

“Tatara Ba eroded the valleys and mountains with water to wash out iron sands. Water is conducted through a gutter, and hits a cliff. Then, the muddy water is conducted through another gutter to allow the iron sands to precipitate out gradually. The process pollutes the water, and washes mud downstream. So the villages and the river downstream get buried in mud. It was a disaster for those who grew rice. Therefore, the farmers downstream and the Tatara people were often in conflict. When the local Samurai attacked Tatara Ba, they were not doing something bad; they were doing something rightful. In that time, Samurai and farmers weren’t clearly separated, so it’s natural to have conflict when Tatata Ba’s presence became bigger. However, since these Samurai said they are “Asano Kubo”, they are men of nobility. So they treated Ashitaka honorably.”

“I don’t consider the Samurai as bad and the Tatara people as good. So, in the scene where the porters were eating, I tried to put several unlikeable guys. Kouroku doesn’t say a word to the Ishibiya guy, although they were both wounded. Even a guy as good-natured as him could not be free from the social restrictions of the era. The ishibiya people are functioning as mercenaries, but at Tatara Ba, they are not treated as people with feelings or personalities.”

“It’s not that I wanted to make it modern. It’s just that depicting Tatara Ba under the rule of men would be boring. And if I made the boss of Tatara Ba a man, he would be a manager, not a revolutionary. If it’s a woman, she becomes a revolutionary, even if she is doing the same thing. So I didn’t make them women who have to be protected by men, or women in their families. I intentionally cut them off from such things. And not all the Tatara men are good guys. I wanted to make crowds that included disagreeable guys. It’s the first time that I made a movie in which an ordinary guy didn’t do anything heroic, right to the end.”
