Howl’s Moving Castle Main Theme (Piano) - Joe Hisaishi

BK: I modified this bird’s-eye view that Lauren had painted for the spirit energy explosion, but that sequence already had a really nice rhythm to it, so we left it alone and figured we could just share the painting in the art book. You can see how much work went into the three lighting setups that transition in a matter of seconds in a single shot! Animation is no picnic. I wanted the new portal to open up to a part of the spirit world we had not seen yet. Christine and I referenced bizarre iceberg formations for the mountains, baobabs for the trees, and aquatic plants for the field of flowers. Lauren and I researched pictures of aquariums lit by black lights for the otherworldly color scheme. It all came together to make a location that was pretty, yet a bit unsettling, which I think is an appropriate vibe for this postbattle conversation. Background designs by William Nanqing Niu and Christine Bian. Paintings by Bryan Konietzko, Melissa King, and Lauren Zurcher. [x]

The twelve Shēngxiào生肖, aka 12 Symbolic Animals, they’re visualized presents of the 12 Dizhi(地支): 子(zǐ)、丑（chǒu）、寅（yín）、卯（mǎo）、辰（chén）、巳（sì）、午（wǔ）、未（wèi）、申（shēn）、酉（yǒu）、戌（xū）、亥（hài). The 12 Dizhi are symbols of ancient Chinese way for counting the years. Each Dizhi has its own meaning of explaining how nature world loops. It can be used in Year, Month and 12 Hour in one day. It belongs to the system Tiangan-dizhi天干地支, ancient Chinese calender, which is really complicated even some Chinese are confused themselves.  Therefore that English translation Chinese zodiac is actually wrong. Dizhi is irrelevant to the zodiac, and totally unrelated to western astrology. I feel it’s kind of inappropriate to call 12 Shengxiao the chinese zodiac for it sounds like shengxiao derives from zodiac(that’s what the idiot wiki said).  So next time when someone says Chinese zodiac, please correct them it’s called 12 Shengxiao. The lovely illustrations are by chinese artist 萨菲珥safeier.
