    Welcome to another writing (or, creative) routine! In this one, i'm trying the routine of Hayao Miyazaki, the famously chaotic and talented co-founder of and director at Studio Ghibli. This one is a little bit more laid back than some of my other writing routine attempts--I did not get up at 4am, this time. Instead, I only did it for the day. And I got a lot of Japanese food. It was a lovely day and probably my most enjoyable and peaceful writing routine to date, even if it did go for 12 hours.
    I hope you enjoy it! Here are some other writing routines in the series:

      Boils down on your values. It seems Miyazaki isn't the type to value family over passion to the point that he would live in ghibli and do work 24hrs. That's very respectable. But i guess he can still make compromise, agreeing to go home at 9pm. Even so, his family seems to be very supportive of him.
      I say most of the people thinks the 12 hours work is purely doing work. I doubt miyazaki would be that focus doing drawing for straight 12 hrs. Where in fact you can put in alot of breaks whether short or long. Hayao even chopped woods or done something unrelated to work on that 12 hrs shift.
      Ultimately, a 12 hrs shift is not really for everyone. Also it can be seen as overworking your staff. Unless someone preferred it that way. In my case, we did propose to our manager to have 12 hrs work for 4 days so that we can have 3 days of rest. Our HR rejected it 😢

    I've lived in Japan for 15 years now, and sadly it's become quite apparent to me that while Japan is definitely a collective culture as you mentioned at the end of your video, this culture of overwork has led to an insanely high rate of suicides due to overwork. So much so that they have a word in their language specifically for that type. That work/life balance just doesn't seem to exist out here, unfortunately, and after speaking to many people I've learned that this isn't usually by their own volition. Companies tend to impose this routine on their employees, from forcing them to go out after work to drink or pressuring them to stay long hours until the boss leaves, it's almost as if they're held prisoner. Miyazaki has even admitted that his routine caused massive rifts between him and his wife and sons.
    I will say though, planning a 12-hour session in advance, maybe just once a week, just to really focus and get in that flow, might be a great idea.
    Especially if you schedule it ahead of time with your family so they know that's your time to work, you can shut the door, and turn off notifications. I might start doing this...

      Refering to the last paragraph of your somment - exactly, I was thinking just the same while watching this. I am also thinking of trying this 12 hour session once a week. If it works out for me, it might just be an amazing solution for me because i very bad at organising and prioritizing tasks.

    • @dydx_
      @dydx_ Před 3 měsíci +3

      If you look at the data then one will discover that the suicide rate in Japan is lower than the suicide rate within the US. Though obviously, any suicide rate is inherently a bad rate and as such it is also worth considering that data needs to be put in perspective by being compared with itself in relation to time and national/geopolitical events as well as other nations. I feel bad for Miyazaki, many of his generation appear to have undergone similar experiences when one asks them. Japan during the economic wonder era certainly came with it's costs.

      Wait wait wait. If he would do a job, what he actually dislikes that could be such a pressure, and may could cause the risk of overwork-suicide... But we artists are work just different. When you really enjoy what you do and you are in a really creative creating process, you are in the flow, 12 hours go really quickly... I am painting too, and some of my paintings I work 3 days or so. One of my biggest jewelry I worked 3 weeks... From morning till evening, and I was just restless and could not put it down, until its finished. I never ever felt it overwhelming or too much even if I worked a ridiculous 14 hour... Rather I was wish if a day would have 28 hours😂

  • @kimia9
    @kimia9 Před 5 měsíci +554

    i worked in the japanese anime industry and the problem with miyazakis routine (which is rather common in anime industry) is,
    it's one thing when you choose for yourself and your own lifestyle & worksyle, you do you.
    but not only enforces he his own work culture on his entire staff, (simplest example. making unhealthy ramen for staff, because it's cheaper, easier & faster to get down in the few minutres in between drawing, instead of giving them proper lunch break, or even proper nutritions even though they are working 12h everyzday while he is a freaking millionaire, and his staff is NOT) it's a staple of why the japanese anime industry is sooooooooooo toxic and SO MANY talented animators and artists burn out, leave art forever and tackle really bad health issues. so i'll never understand how people (not this video) romanticize his work style and claim that has anything to do with artistic values or quality.
    again, it's one thing to chose your own lifestyle, but when you are responsible for the health of dozens or hundreds, it's NOT the way

    • @MrFr2eman
      @MrFr2eman Před 4 měsíci +70

      Why are you taking one example of him making noodles as something that's always happening at the studio? If you watch the docs(and I understand that they only show a slice of life) you can see that they eat good food quite often, the employee actually take turns to cook food for the entire studio, it's just on that particular shooting day, it was Miyazaki's turn and he happened to be making cheap ramen. And if you watch how he makes it, he actually cooks vegetables in addition to the cheap noodles, so it's far from absolute junk food.
      Documentaries don't seem to sugarcoat the problems of the studio with overworking or how Miyazaki's creative process affects everyone, but judging a person, their life style and their treatment of others based on one clip of him making ramen is just silly. Same with taking your own experience or general industry experience and saying it's like that everywhere, even though there's literally evidence to show otherwise.

    • @house0paine535
      @house0paine535 Před 4 měsíci +25

      Tis' worth noting that this was not the process at all within the production of The Boy and The Heron, which helps to explain why it took so long - no crunch time. That and because Isao Takahata, ghibli co-founder, died halfway through the production and Miyazaki needed a break - as he was one of his closest friends/creative inspirations.

  • @JuriAmari
    @JuriAmari Před 4 měsíci +73

    1:48 - one of Miyazaki’s Italian consultants even confirmed in a documentary for Nausicaa that the studio’s supposed to be pronounced with a soft g even though the original Italian word is a hard g.
    Fun fact - Ghibli means “hot wind”. Considering practically almost every Ghibli film has a flight sequence and Miyazaki’s father was a plane engineer (referenced in the Wind Rises), the name’s quite fitting!
    If anyone’s curious about how I found that info, if you have any of the Buena Vista versions of the DVDs (they mostly came out around 2005), they often come with translated documentaries that are on the bonus features or on the second disc. I‘ve also seen a few of them on CZcams so I recommend doing a search! The best ones I’ve found IMO were Nausicaa, Spirited Away, Kiki’s Delivery Service, and Princess Mononoke. The English voice acting BTS videos are great too because they cover how they navigate the cultural differences and subtitling.

    • @goldoshaino
      @goldoshaino Před 4 měsíci +6

      Not exactly, Ghibli doesn't mean "hot wind" but does refer to a specific seasonal libyan hot wind coming from the south, it derives from the arab language (generally meaning "south") and was probably more common during the Italian occupation of Libya (around 1910-1940, when the plane with the same name was made basically). Nobody in Italy actually know about that name in present times since we changed name for it to "Scirocco" somewhere in the past.

I often do put in long days but I space it out in my whole day depending on my creativity and motivation.

As it happens, about a decade ago I read an article about some medical researchers stating that walking is good to get your brain functioning since it forces the arteries to supply more oxygen to brain cells to guarantee survival on a high metabolism state. I do not have scientific proof of this, but I find it to work well for me as I often find solutions or resolutions to work related problems while I am on the move rather than sitting still on a chair.
    Radio calisthenics is actually an American invention, it fell out of public taste and radio stations stopped broadcasting them long time ago. However in Japan, especially in Miyazaki's childhood, it not only became a fever, but the Japanese education system turned it into a public awareness tool to exercise themselves and be mindful of health. So much so, children would receive "point cards" stamped by teachers to prove they practiced radio calisthenics everyday in the morning to receive some kind of prize at school. That in turn became tradition, and I think Mr. Miyazaki is just honing on a tradition-routine like so many other things he does.
    Which brings me to the third point of this comment. I believe Mr. Miyazaki is a traditionalist with a lot of Japanese baby-boomer mentality. I am not writing this in a derogatory way, but he comes from a generation that saw the misery at the end of World War 2, and did not have the luxuries we take for granted in our generation (I myself a gen-X). In those days living in a country that lost the war and had most of the population in poverty, kids had to toughen up if they wanted to have some form of hope for the future. Working 12hours a day was just one of many sacrifices for every Japanese citizen who wanted to rebuild the country from the ashes. Obviously such routine shouldn't have to be applied in modern Japan, and hence why so many youngsters vilifies old people's costumes like Miyazaki's, but I can relate to both of them.
    Before becoming a white collar worker I used wake up at 5 am and I worked overtime in a factory (sometimes well beyond 12 hours). Today, even without the need of waking up early, my body just stands up at 5:00 am with no alarm clock. Not saying we should all be doing spartan routines everyday, I am just saying that old habits die hard for many of us and the most important lesson of your video is that we tend to seek a routine to keep chaos at bay of our minds to find some kind of familiarity and calmness in walking, sipping coffee, preparing meals, working slowly for long hours, or working intensely for short hours, escaping to log cutting, etc. We all do what works best for us, and in the end we should not be judging whether one routine is better than the other.

    those calisthenics are also great for artists in general which is why I think they had the animators doing them. I also do a warmup routine and have had art profs say to start ur day with stretches so that when u paint ur shoulder muscles are loose and ready to work lollll

    Great video! Just to bring up this curiosity: In the book Shigoto Douraku (Mixing work with pleasure: my life at Studio Ghibli) by Toshio Suzuki, current producer and co-founder of Studio Ghibli, he admits that it was Hayao Miyazaki's mistake in choosing the “ji” , but as the brand and studio were already consolidated, it didn't make sense to make the change.
    On the other hand, as a kind of example of recognition of this mistake years later, after the repercussion and international contact of the studio, when it came time to make animated shorts about the production team and the day-to-day lives of the employees From the studio, they were called Ghiblies, read as “Guiburiizu”, with the sound “gui”. ^^

    By observing others, it is challenging to know which actions trigger a creative person's brain to go into a creative state. Small things can be important, if the space does not allow these, the brain may not go into a creative state. Explaining everything consciously can also be a burden on fluent thinking. When you get into the right space, things just seem to happen and progress. Motivation may only come after starting to work, which is why small actions before doing are important - they start the action.

    Hi, it is so nice to discover your videos! :)
    I think one of the many reasons for this very long working routine is also the fact that Miyazaki's work is animation. Animation studios in general tend to work long very hours, often even nights, because the labour of work is just immense. Animators usually spend most of their time in the studios, it is their life. It is a huge dedication to the craft and not everyone can do that. It is also considered team effort, the animation movie would never have been finished if not for the team effort of every single person in the studio working as long as him. The animation industry is like that not only in Japan but also in America etc. because it is just so consuming. I believe though that in these long hours they also have times where they just don't know what to do next, or where it is basically figuring out a lot of things, so it is mixed with intense flow states of work and more loose states of work. Nevertheless, I always thought it was really intense to do that kind of work.
    Great video!

    It's best to start the day slow if you're going to have a long day. Taking the time to get yourself in the mindset is good so I understand him waking early, but taking his time and starting at 9.
    Also I think he's more of a plantser. He seems to always have the beginnings of his work ready so he can give his people something to work with even if he doesn't have the ending yet. It's a bit of both which honestly, is the best way to work creatively while on a deadline: to plot and pants.
