Miyazaki Hayao published the manga "風立ちぬ" in the monthly magazine "Model Graphix" from April 2009 to January 2010. The work features Japanese fighter designer Jiro Horikoshi, who was active during World War II, as the protagonist. He once designed the A6M Zero that was once invincible in the air force field . At the same time, the title of the manga and the plot of the love story with the heroine are taken from the novel of the same name by the writer Hori Tatsuo, who was born with Jiro Horikoshi. The animator, who has always been known for his anti-war stance, is obsessed with killing fighters and battleships for various reasons. The contradiction in this highly personal work is particularly prominent. Perhaps because of this contradiction and the ubiquitous tastes of life, Miyazaki Hayao had no intention of making it into an animated film at first. In the end, it was Miyazaki Hayao’s old partner Toshio Suzuki of Studio Ghibli who successfully contributed to the project. He put forward the proposal of filming at the beginning of the comic series. However, Miyazaki Hayao stated that "animated films should be children, not adults." "Make" categorically declines for the reason. The producer of Suzuki pointed out that "Miyazaki Hayao should give his own answer on the contradictions (in the work)", and this statement hits the point accurately. In the plan published on the website, Miyazaki explained the intention of the production as follows: "This film is neither an indictment of war nor an attempt to inspire young people in Japan by describing the outstanding features of A6M Zero. I also don’t want to conceal Jiro’s sincere desire to build a civilian aircraft, but only hopes to tell the story of such a man who is loyal to his dream and keeps forging ahead."

In addition to his work, Miyazaki's own recent remarks have put him at the center of the controversy. In a self-reported article published in Studio Ghibli's free magazine "Hot Wind", Hayao Miyazaki publicly opposed the revision of the pacifist constitution and reflected on Japan's actions in World War II, including launching a war of aggression, air raids on Pearl Harbor, comfort women, etc. historical issues. Regarding the territorial issues that are currently much disputed, Hayao Miyazaki believes that both parties in the dispute should jointly manage them.

"The designer's hardship is forever"? It is very different from the epic film you imagined. It is the dullest one of the few Hayao Miyazaki I have seen. Whether it is a major earthquake or World War II, a few shots have passed without too much ink, but it has given countless empty spaces. Shots of the sky, clouds, grass, and trains. In fact, if the background of war is let go, the movie is like the director’s nostalgia for the times, hometown, and old people.
