It is the top part of this image that is interesting. The environment plays a key thematic role in almost all of his films. He believes that perfect coexistence between humans and nature is nearly impossible, and he explores this idea while maintaining that “a wonderful meeting or beautiful thing can exist.” (http://redstudio.moma.org/contests/character/) Several motifs recur in many of Miyazaki's films. Especially in later work, he deliberately paces his films to allow brief excursions into the animated environment. The image of wind blowing gently across fields of grass or grain has been used in several of his films.
