Studio Ghibli Art Backgrounds by Kazuo Oga

 Let’s take a minute to appreciate Kazuo Oga, the painter who helped create the forest in Hayao Miyazaki’s animated film My Neighbor Totoro.

These are the stunning and beautiful art backgrounds by Kazuo Oga on each animation film of Hayao Miyazaki. You could lost in every art piece. Kazuo Oga (男鹿 和雄 Oga Kazuo, born 29 February 1952 in Akita Prefecture, Japan) is an art director and background artist for many Madhouse Studio and Studio Ghibli anime films, Oga worked with major directors Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata, Yoshiaki Kawajiri, Osamu Dezaki. He also published two artbooks and directed a short animated film. (Wikipedia)


 Together with musical scores playing on the background. I considered every piece to be heart-warming, thought-provoking, and worth reflecting upon. These background musics, are my companion in my search for tranquility and peace of mind. The music gives me rest and serves as a reminder of a lot of things. This is a wonderful playlist, heartwarming, heals your soul, and as if you're in a beautiful world.  It's my background song whatever I do and whenever I am.
