Shuna's Journey by Hayao Miyazaki

Shuna’s Journey

By Hayao Miyazaki
Hayao Miyazaki is a Japanese filmmaker, animator, and illustrator, best known as the co-founder of Studio Ghibli and the creator of some of the most influential animated films of all time, including My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke, and Spirited Away.

This richly illustrated fantasy tale follows Shuna, a young prince from a barren land, who sets out on a dangerous journey in search of golden grain that could save his people from starvation. Along the way, he rescues a mysterious girl named Thea and encounters powerful forces, ancient civilizations, and moral trials that test his resolve. Originally created as a picture-story before Miyazaki’s filmmaking career, Shuna’s Journey reveals early themes that would later define his work, blending myth, adventure, and quiet humanity.
