Miyazaki designs giant clock for future generations

[Paul]

According to Ghibli World, Hayao Miyazaki has designed a giant copper clock (10 meters high and 18 meters wide) for the NTV tower at Shiodome, Tokyo. The production of the clock is due to be completed by mid-July and you can catch a glimpse of Miyazaki's design by <a href="http://www.ghibli.jp/10info/000389.html#more">clicking here</a>.

When asked why he decided to undertake such a project, Miyazaki is quoted as saying "As time passes, the characters of the animation will be forgotten. Therefore I want to make something that will be loved by future generations as well."

hmmmm anyone else think that would give them nightmares seeing that each night before bed :s

Nah, it looks awesome! A very 'fairytale'-looking piece, with quite a noticeable Howl's influence. I'd be interested to see it when it's all in place!

Damn, I keep misreading 'clock' and bursting into laughter.

He should do more stuff like that and 'clock' can easily be misread, especially with giant before it.

The clock looks fantastic, and I can't wait to see how it will turn out when painted and produced to scale. It will certainly make an impression!

I wonder if Ghibli will use this clock in any of their future movies!

Fabulous. Miyazaki continuing to try and turn the Tokyo skyline into Disneyland. Or maybe that should be Miyazakiland. In fact, why has nobody ever thought of that before? Surely they've got enough characters by now!
