This is the official catalogue of the Studio Ghibli Layout Exhibition, which opened at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo in 2008. The exhibition toured throughout Japan and internationally for over ten years, before concluding in 2018. It focused on the importance of layout in animation filmmaking, featuring works ranging from the early productions of Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki to later Studio Ghibli films. In addition to showcasing a large number of original layout drawings, the catalogue includes detailed explanations of how Takahata and Miyazaki developed and refined their approach to layout, making this book especially insightful. This catalogue is the first edition, published in 2008, and is highly recommended for Studio Ghibli fans, as well as for those interested in animation, film direction, and visual storytelling.
