Miyazaki
Miyazaki refers most often to Hayao Miyazaki, the Japanese animator and filmmaker whose Studio Ghibli productions—*Spirited Away*, *My Neighbor Totoro*, *Princess Mononoke*—defined a style of hand-drawn animation known for lush natural imagery, environmental themes, and complex young protagonists.
His name has become shorthand for that aesthetic: very Miyazaki vibes.
Miyazaki is also a prefecture on Japan's southeastern coast.
