About Studio Ghibli (Miyazaki)
Studio Ghibli's visual world is a hand-painted one — watercolor skies drift over meadow greens, and every frame looks like a painting you could step inside. Founded by Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata in 1985, the studio built its style around Kazuo Oga's luminous background paintings for *My Neighbor Totoro* (1988) and *Spirited Away* (2001).
This design system translates that painterly warmth into interface language: soft cumulus blues, lush green landscapes, sunset orange accents, and warm paper surfaces. Typography leans literary and hand-touched; geometry is rounded and organic. The design says: slow down and notice the clouds.
