Set in the Japanese countryside of the lawless and chaotic Muromachi Period, PRINCESS MONONOKE is the story of a young man's quest to reconcile the powerful forces of human civilization and industry with the need to live harmoniously in the natural world. It is a time when Samurai warriors raid each others' territories whenever they sense weakness or advantage. Men and women driven from areas of conflict have begun to eke out their livings in even the most remote forests where the gods of old still rule the land.

Wonderful Graphic Novel Of Wonderful Movie!,
By Lynn Ellingwood "The ESOL Teacher" (Webster, NY United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Princess Mononoke Film Comic, Vol. 1 (Princess Mononoke Film Comics) (v. 1) (Paperback)
This is one of my favorite movies from one of my favorite film makers. It is a wonder to behold and these graphic novels - in full color, help recreate the movie in a wonderful way. I like them for the students in my class and they read them again and again. My kids are learning English so they are very excited about these books and it makes them easy for the students to read. Highly recommended.
