In General Japan News,
Fans of Japanese anime will no doubt be pleased to hear that renowned film director Hayao Miyazaki has finished a feature length film entitled Kaze Tachinu, or The Wind is Rising.
The production will be particularly welcome to his fans, as it is the first time he has completed a feature length production in five years.
Despite receiving mixed reviews - some critics felt the film was anti-Japanese - Miyazaki plans to take the production to the Venice International Film Festival where it will be up for the Golden Lion trophy.
The film is a fictional biography of the creator of the Mitsubishi A6M Zero World War II fighter plane, Jiro Horikoshi.
Speaking in an interview for Kyodo News, the 72-year-old director said: "I've been producing animation movies for the sake of children, so I wondered if I should make a film about a man who developed weapons."
