When Studio Ghibli released Princess Mononoke in 1997, the epic historical fantasy film captivated Japanese audiences while breaking box office records. Today, Hayao Miyazaki’s film is considered a masterpiece, beloved throughout the world for its breathtaking animation style and timeless environmental themes. Throughout Miyazaki’s work, there is a relentless passion for the craft of animation and an unparalleled scrutiny of even the most subtle elements. Both Levi`s and Studio Ghibli have solidified themselves as icons of culture through their dedication to detail and passion for craftsmanship. By pairing the brand’s iconic style with the film’s enchanting aesthetic, Levi’s and Studio Ghibli have collaborated to create an artful collection with poetry woven into every piece.
With nuance and complexity, the film explores the duality of humanity and nature. In Princess Mononoke, nature is as much a character as any of the humans or animals – in fact, some of the characters are living spirits of nature. Miyazaki’s epic utilised hand-painted backgrounds depicting gorgeous forests, rivers, and animals. Inspired by the film’s landscapes and mystical characters, the Levi’s x Princess Mononoke collection honors the environmental storytelling and transformative enchantment of this cinematic masterpiece.
