Notes
Ghibli is an Italian word, coined during World War II, meaning “hot desert wind.” The term was also used for the name of Italy’s scouting planes in North Africa. Miyazaki, a vintage aircraft buff, decided to adopt the word for his new studio, hoping to be a “hot wind into the world of Japanese animation.”
In 1991, Studio Ghibli opened the Ghibli Museum, a commercial museum celebrating the works from Studio Ghibli. The museum is located in Inokashira Park in Mitaka, a western suburb of Tokyo (1-1-83 Simorenjaku, Mitaka-shi,
Tokyo 181-0013), Japan.
