Kaguya-hime no Monogatari

Beautifully crafted landscapes and countrysides, each image seems to be a celebration of nature and different colors of life. The aesthetic blend of music, artwork, and direction of Kaguya-Hime, coupled with the symbolism in the story and presentation, reminded me of Mushishi. They are both clearly influenced by Japanese culture, folk tales, and myths. At times, its like 'reading' a picture scroll (Emakimono) - a feeling that is clearly more present in kaguya-Hime.
