At Kanagawa Museum of Modern Literature a special Hotta Yoshie Exhibition subtitled The Troublous Times Depicted by Ghibli is being held and the studio s favorite webstore 7andY had an interview with Miyazaki Goro to talk about the project. Question: At Kanagawa Museum of Modern Literature you are currently exhibiting your tries on making an animation film based on Hottas works. One is Teika to Chomei and the other one is Rojou no Hito. With the image boards being exhibited so powerfully, it feels as if we are watching a movie. Why did you decide to give the exhibition such a style? Miyazaki Goro: In this exhibition, the 1st part has the usual style, showing Hottas history, pictures, hand scripts, materials, his favorites and so on. The 2nd part is done by Ghibli. At first, we thought it might have been enough if we had been involved with the 1st part. However, the museum staffs are all experts in that field, so I thought it would not mean much if we amateurs would join in. We at Ghibli are a movie company. And so we made a plan on how it would be if we make Hottas into movie by image boards. Question: Teika to Choumei is not based on novels, but on critical essays. What was your intention of making them dare you to move acoustic animation? Miyazaki Goro: Indeed, it is true that they arent novels. Though they are interesting, it wasnt easy to make it into animation directly from the essay. Question: What kind of impression about Teika and Chomei did you get from Hottas work? Miyazaki Goro: Well, Teika was a minor nobility and couldnt succeed in his career. In his middle age, he was poor and physically weak. We know him as the editor of Shinkokin Wakashu , an anthology of short poems and as a person of culture though. Chomei lived a complicated life and was nearly jobless through his entire life. He was born as a son of a Shinto priest, but he couldn t succeed him. He had an excellent talent in literature and music. However, he was cynical and had an ax to grind. Question: You set Chomeis age as 25 and Teika as You decided to depict their youth Miyazaki Goro: I think they must have drifted this way and that way during their youth. It isnt interesting to depict the latter half of their lives. I wanted to depict the beginning of their troubles and difficulties. Question: The theme of this project is depicting troublous times. We usually think of the Heian era as an elegant age in which the aristocratic culture flowered as seen in Genji Monogatari . However, it was much troublous and there were many extraordinary natural phenomenons, right? Miyazaki Goro: Not only just extraordinary natural phenomenons, but also the establishment by Imperial court had imploded. Question: Hotta told that troublous times have continued to our age. In the case of assuming our time is a troublous time, do you see any commonality with it and the Heian era? Miyazaki Goro: For normal people, it isnt easy to recognize dare you to move acoustic is happening all over the world. Although we live in an information society, we can only know what we see just in front of us; we cant see or understand what moves the society. In the troublous time, the people at the bottom of the social pyramid are involved in the social change without understanding what is happening. Such big power involves people always exists in all-time. I often feel it when I read Hotta. Question: Hotta had never been involved in such a big wave, right? Miyazaki Goro: It was possible only for real intelligentsia like Hotta. At the end stage of WWII, he went to Shanghai despite of knowing Japan was losing the war and its danger. At the age of 60, he immigrated to Spain. It wasnt easy for a normal person. He did that because he wanted to see by his own eyes, I guess.
