Miyazaki’s films in a changing career

Essays, interviews, and discussions form the structure of this second volume of Hayao Miyazaki’s career memoir, covering 1997–2008. The material centers on films including *Princess Mononoke*, *Spirited Away*, *Howl’s Moving Castle*, and *Ponyo*, placing them within a period when Miyazaki’s work reached audiences beyond Japan. Together, the pieces offer context on the films and on the widening international presence of his animation during these years. The volume’s mix of formats makes it a collection of reflections and conversations rather than a single continuous account.
