The official Studio Ghibli Twitter account has recently uploaded nine images of Isao Takahata’s new film Kaguya-hime no Monogatari (The Tale of Princess Kaguya). The film uses the same beautiful water colour art style as Takahata’s previous films. The film will be released on 23 November.

The story of The Tale of Princess Kaguya is a retelling of 10th century Japanese folktale Taketori Monogatari (The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter), and centres around the moon princess Kaguya, who is discovered as a baby inside the stalk of a glowing bamboo plant.
