As previously reported, Hayao Miyazaki turned down a Hollywood live-action adaptation but gave the kabuki version his blessing.
Here’s the first peek at the Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind live-action kabuki play.
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind’s kabuki version runs until December 25 in Tokyo.
The performance stars Onoe Kikunosuke as Nausicaä and Nakamura Shichinosuke as Princess Kushana, and it gives a kabuki twist to the costumes and set pieces.
