The source for the Karma sub-section of the Theme section is in the text

edit

While reading I noticed that in this part the source is in the text instead of cited. I wanted to fix it, but to be honest I don't know how. Could someone do it, or tell me how to? 190.100.118.81 (talk) 02:32, 23 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Japanese souvenir program

edit

The souvenir program I bought at a Japanese theater when the movie was released in 1997 contains a lot of information that is not well known outside of Japan. So, using it as a source, I have added some information from my area of interest. According to an interview with Hayao Miyazaki, He created the story assuming that Lord Asano was a venerable samurai (bushi) of kanrei status. He explains that this is evident from the fact that Asano is referred to in the play with the honorific title "Kubō". Miyazaki clearly states that the samurai under Asano are jizamurai. He explained how iron making with iron sand destroys the environment of the lower reaches of the river. He also explained that in a time when the distinction between samurai and farmers was blurred, it was natural that if an Iron Town was built in the mountains, there would be a conflict between the Iron Town and the farmers living downstream, and the jizamurai would invade the Iron Town. In the character introduction section on page 6, "Samurai" is listed, showing a scene of several mounted warriors chasing Ashitaka on a burned mountain ridge. They are described as "Unlike the nobushi, these men are fully armed and launch a well-organized attack." This means that the "Samurai" are different characters from the jizamurai and the nobushi. The nobushi are not specified where they appear in the movie. However, given the historical fact that the nobushi were armed peasants, I believe they are the marauders who appear in the scene where Ashitaka first demonstrates his supernatural archery ability through the power of a curse.--SLIMHANNYA (talk) 14:21, 27 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
