Art of Whisper of the Heart
/Whisper of the Heart is an animation movie produced by Studio Ghibli, directed by Yoshifumi Kondō, and written by Hayao Miyazaki in 1995. The anime was based on the homonym manga created by Aoi Hiiragi. Whisper of the Heart was Kondō's only film as director before his death in 1998. Studio Ghibli had hoped that Kondō would become the successor to Miyazaki and Takahata. It was the only theatrical Ghibli film not directed by Miyazaki or Takahata for seven years until The Cat Returns was released in 2002, which focused on a minor character of the film, Baron. The pictures on this page are a collection of artworks created for this movie.
