Studio Ghibli, the celebrated animation studio closely tied to director Hayao Miyazaki, has organized an exhibition in Kyoto exploring the relationship between its cinematic works and Zen philosophy.
The exhibition has officially opened to the public at a museum in Kyoto, marking the first time the studio has systematically presented Zen's influence on the visual language and spirit of its films.
According to the organizers, the exhibition focuses on signature works, illuminating how elements such as nature, stillness, and moments of transformation in Ghibli films reflect Zen thought.
It is one of the notable cultural events in Kyoto, drawing interest from both Ghibli fans and those interested in Zen Buddhism.
