シュナの旅 [Shuna no Tabi]

Hayao Miyazaki's Shuna no Tabi (1983), published by Tokuma Shoten, is a single-volume watercolor graphic novel that follows a young prince's journey to a legendary land to save his drought-stricken people. This quiet, contemplative fable, written and illustrated entirely by Miyazaki, predates and prefigures the themes and visual style of his later Studio Ghibli films, making it a crucial early work from the master storyteller.
