I picked up this amazing book at the Ghibli Museum. I had never seen or heard of it before, but it is Miyazaki’s original art and story concept for a proto-Totoro/Princess Mononoke hybrid, before he split those concepts into their own stories. As you can imagine, it is amazing. I can’t read Japanese, but I *think* the title is “Mononoke Hime.” Here is the ISBN number in case you want to try to track it down: ISBN4-19-860040-6

EDIT: I wrote “amazing” twice, but really, it is amazing. There, three times now.

Ashitaka: San, you’ve gotta help us.
San: No! You’re on there side! You always were! Take that damned woman and just go away!
Ashitaka: San…
San: Never! I hate all of you humans!
Ashitaka: Yes, I’m human San. So are you.
San: Stop it! I’m a wolf, you hear?
Ashitaka: San…
San: Stay back! 
Ashitaka: I’m sorry. I tried to stop it. 
San: It’s over. Everything’s over. The forest is dead.
