    Hey,

    I just give you a masterpiece of Hayao Miyazaki. I begin a series of articles on major animation studio that Shibli was able to offer us. And it is natural that I start with their first major international success. Princess Mononoke.

    • Original title: ã‚‚ã�®ã�®ã�‘ 姫 (Mononoke Hime)
    • French Title: Princess Mononoke
    • Director: Hayao Miyazaki
    • Writer: Hayao Miyazaki (story and adaptation), Neil Gaiman (English adaptation)
    • Producer: Toshio Suzuki
    • Budget: 2.35 billion yen, about 18 million
    • Country of Origin: Japan
    • Genre: Animation, Adventure, Fantasy
    • Duration: 134 minutes
    • Distribution companies:
    • For Japan: TÅ�hÅ�
    • For France: Gaumont Buena Vista International
    • Release dates:
    • Japan: July 12, 1997
    • France: 12 January 2000
    • Film banned for children under 12 years of age.

    Princess Mononoke which literally translates "Princess vengeful spirits" Hayao Miyazaki is a Japanese animated film. It was released July 12, 1997 in Japan. It was produced by Studio Ghibli.

    At the time of the Muromachi period, in the medieval Japan, the prince of the tribe of Ashitaka Emishi is struck by a terrible curse after killing a boar god. It was crazy. He had become a demon. Prince Ashitaka must leave the village. The shaman said it condemned to die. He must go west to find the cause of the wrath of nature. There, may be the last hope is to find the reason for his curse and heal.

    
    He finds himself embroiled in a war between the spirits of the forest, and giant talking animals which must be added San, the Princess Mononoke high Moro by the wolf, and two human parties with conflicting interests: Lady Eboshi leader, the village forges that wishes to destroy the forest to allow prosperity to its people, and the samurai lord hasano, trying to seize the village and weapons are produced.

    

    Ashitaka is on the side of San, who fight for the survival and well-being of the forest. But he refuses to kill humans. Gradually, it will be seen in Princess Mononoke men in a different light ... 
    

    

    During a visit to an ancient forest of Yakushima, Miyazaki got the inspiration for this project. The story and characters have changed many times during the preparation stage of the film. It will be three years in the making.
    

    

    The landscapes of the film were inspired by the forests and mountains of Yakushima Shirakami-Sanchi. 
    Much images of history have been hand drawn, but computer graphics has been used for a few scenes, including where the arms have Ashitaka and scenes showing to demonic, which blend traditional design and graphics. Miyazaki personally checked each of the 144,000 cels of the anime and was redesigned about 80,000.

    

    Mononoke Hime has been the movie event of the decade in Japan and the first Miyazaki film to be distributed worldwide. It is only justice: this film is a stupendous masterpiece, an inexhaustible wealth of unprecedented gravity. 
    The film was hailed by critics in Japan and around the world, definitely confirms the stature Hayao Miyazaki as a master of world animation and draws him to the attention of critics in the world. Princess Mononoke is a great commercial success in Japan.

  Aikodake

  Is a princess? Do you know that there is a mountain of very cute named "Aikodake" Yakushima "Aiko is since it was introduced in the media when during "has been born, some people called ~ Na Have you heard there Would not than are.

  It is possible that some of those who are attracted to the name, with the aim of this mountain. However, this is Aikodake's a fairly steep mountain, which is also altitude 1,235m Despite the cute name.

  This time, those who want to enjoy trekking and we will continue to introduce towards those who want to be climbing in earnest why.

  Now let's starting from the trailhead. Sign saying â—‹â—‹â—‹ m altitude because it was built in the 100m every trail, those who are climbing let's pace to guide it.

  It becomes a case where I's, so sometimes it becomes as "whether there is also a â—‹â—‹â—‹ m yet," and have seen just the label too in moderation (laughs).

  It was to tell it's a steep mountain, but it is easy to walk because it firmly fairly mountain trail. So, I please with confidence those who want to enjoy a stroll in the little mountain rather than a hill climbing in earnest.

  The way, because there is something like a guide plate which, such as the name of the plant that is growing in the mountains was written, let's enjoy the views of nature while watching them.

  When I looked around at around beyond the 500m point, there is a place that has been blocked by the net. This seems to net except for deer. Welcome deer's if at Miyajima and Nara, but I mon is dangerous in these mountains. Deer is larger in Yakushima, but let's climb with confidence thus measures because it is.

  From this area, you can see the cherry azalea in season.

  There is a stump of Yakusugi called "tree of the conductive" in altitude 800m near. Here because it is taking a great spot, let us have a commemorative photo with everyone in the memories of trekking.

  The goal to this area, towards the trekking purpose you are going to descend to be careful then.

  There is a water park to the point where it climbed about 1000m, but there is no Mizu-jo other places. So, prepare some pieces of such water bottle bottles and always, please do challenge to have sufficient moisture when towards the Aikodake.

  Well, from here is the production person climbing purpose.Continued from rocky point around 1100m, we will climb them using the rope. Really steep road is followed, but it also or would the real thrill of mountain climbing. The view from the summit was reached with effort is the best.

  Some people trekking lovers, towards the mountain-climbing enthusiasts also, to Aikodake The rest of the time!

  When you found out the route to try trekking, Jomon cedar mountain climbing Shiratani clouds were already introduced in this site I think those that introduces the root of such Mizukai-Miyanouradake-Motchomu dake is large.

  Scenery and nature that can be seen in the root of the great because they really, those who visit for the first time Yakushima is the place I want to visit all means.

  But, anyone who wants to go to a place that is not a classic and those who have visited the Yakushima many times, coming to Yakushima It's the first time, but if there is physical strength confidence, those who like scenery dynamic such as rocks craggy, There is a trekking route that you want to recommend to others.

  "Tachudake (Tachudake)" it is.

  It is located in the southeast of Yakushima to Tachudake, you can be going by bus to Yakusugi land to become the starting point of the route Tachudake.

  There is a «Arakawa mountain stream» corresponding to the upstream of the dam Arakawa and walk a little bit towards the Tachudake summit from here.

  This river is a state that was rugged with rocky really. And I have sometimes called the "island of rock" Yakushima, but you can feel that the more you look at this view.

  There is a «serpentine cedar» and a short walk from there. This is Yakusugi that had fallen at the time of the typhoon of 1997.

  such names arrived from where the stem is undulating like a snake. Now, new cedar are growing on top of this fallen tree.

  I feel acutely To the life force of the tree.

  You'll see next is «floret mountain».

  Splendid cedar has towering lot here, but there are many cedar that is not named.

  While such studies of plant is also progressing, of that there is a cedar does not have a name yet I also is a surprise.

  So, what's such that there are many types of cedar.

  There is also a stump that has been mowed in the Edo era here, you will be feel the history of many years.

  Mistiness faintly also is often a nostalgic atmosphere.

  You get to the «forest of astronomy» to be a little more advance from there.

  You can find immediately sign because standing.

  This scenery like objects have entered the world of fairy tale completely anymore.

  I think and I want you to enjoy the world of the forest by or taking photos from various locations here.

  Well it is finally summit. There is a huge rock thing 40m height called «Tianzhu rock» here.

  Why would there be such a big rock in a place like this. Is strange.

  I have some people that "! Yakushima's position" in the spectacular scenery that you see to come here to climb the hard way.

  Also necessary effort in order to see such a wonderful view.

  It becomes hard road, but please headed careful after you homework enough!

    Volcanoes are a thing of beauty and mystery in the world. Famous volcanoes, such as the one that destroyed Pompei, or, more recently, Mt. Saint Helens, have been capturing imaginations for years. Their beauty is complimented by their violent nature and the threat of destruction they carry. While the science behind them is unknown to all but a few, one thing is certain: active volcanoes are dangerous, as there is little warning before they erupt. Mt. Aso is an active volcano located in Japan, and has been known to spew ash at various times in recent memory.

    Mt. Aso volcano consists of five peaks, Mt. Neko, Mt. Taka, Mt. Naka, Mt. Eboshi, and Mt. Kishima. Mt. Naka has an active crater, which continuously emits smoke and erupts occassionally. Formed over the past 300,000 years, there are various calderas that now form the volcano known as Mt. Aso. Eruptions have been continuous for over a quarter of a million years, and some eruptions have been enormous. Contents from an explosion centuries ago is equal in volume to Mt. Fuji and covered an area of six hundred square kilometers. Such a massive eruption surely disturbed the eco-system of the area, and has left its mark on nature even to this day.

    Volcanoes are violent beasts, but are also beautiful. Looking at Mt. Aso from afar, its beauty is unmistakably breathtaking. Shooting skyward are 5 seperate peaks, covered in green plantlife and colorful rock formations. The valley beneath the peaks is a river of grass and meadows, giving no hint of the power that is held back by the volcano that is mere feet away. At any moment, a plume of ash and smoke may erupt, blotting out the sun and creating a makeshift nightfall. The beauty of the area is unmistakable, but the threat of eruption always looms near.

    So, you’re looking for something new to try in the grocery store. Wow! A little tiny can of corned beef catches your eye. This is a rarity in rural Japan. You think of maybe attempting a breakfast hash or something with cabbage. But then you look at the tin just next to it…the tin ominously marked “New Corn(ed) Meat.” The small parenthetical explanation underneath the product name suddenly leaps out. It reads “Contains horse meat and beef.” Mmmmm…HORSE SPAM. Yikes!
