日本語Studio Ghibli: official resources and coloring pages
The Studio Ghibli is known worldwide for its animated films, as well as for the richness of their settings, landscapes and worlds. This page does not offer characters or coloring pages from Ghibli films. Instead you will find links to the studio's official resources and a selection of Just Color coloring pages on related themes: nature, animals and imaginary worlds.
Studio Ghibli: the films and the people behind them
The Studio Ghibli was founded in Japan in 1985 by directors Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata, together with producer Toshio Suzuki. Its creation followed the success of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, directed by Miyazaki the previous year.
Since then, the studio has developed a style that is immediately recognisable, even though its films can be very different from one another. Some tell fantastic adventures, others deal with family, war, childhood or the protection of nature. Landscapes and the small details of everyday life often play an important role.
Among the best-known films are My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle. While Hayao Miyazaki remains the name most associated with the studio, Ghibli is also the result of the work of many directors, animators, artists and technicians.
Studio Ghibli also makes many images from its films available on its official website. They provide a way to revisit the atmospheres, settings and colours characteristic of its various productions.

Images published by Studio Ghibli
Studio Ghibli regularly publishes images from its films on its website. These include characters as well as landscapes, interiors, villages and everyday scenes.
These visuals make it easier to appreciate the work done on sets and atmospheres: highly detailed vegetation, old houses, bustling streets, everyday objects and uses of light. See an example of images published by the studio.
For drawing enthusiasts, these images can also serve as inspiration to imagine one’s own landscapes, houses or creatures, without directly reproducing the films' characters.
If you are planning a trip to Japan, consult the Ghibli Park and Ghibli Museum websites directly for information on access conditions, opening hours and reservation procedures.
