Came across this early graphic novel by Hayao Miyazaki. It‘s a retelling of a Tibetan folk tale, about a search for golden grain in a land of god-people. This graphic novel was published two years before Studio Ghibli was formed. The main themes of Miyazaki‘s stories are prominent here: a search/quest, sacrifice, fantastical land, disconnect- both societal and environmental. Beautiful watercolor work. Definitely recommend to fans of Studio Ghibli.
