A Japanese vegan here. About Ashitaka's costume... He was a member of Emishi, the ethnic group that existed in the current Tohoku area until the Heian Era (they were against the central government of Japan at the time and conquered in the end). In the movie, as a fictional story, Hayao Miyazaki made Emishi which was supposed to be diminished still exist in the Muromachi era, but in a hidden way. The costume is fictional, but it is an amalgam of Ainu design and Chinese design. Even though Emishi and Ainu are different people, but kanji of them is same （蝦夷） , both lived and lives in north of Japan, and both are and were target of elimination of Japanese central government. The reason you can see Chinese influence is that at least Ainu people traded things with China actively, I guess. What is interesting about Emishi is that they called "the children of wolves" to represent the savageness of them in the historical record. Princess Mononoke represents interestingly well Miyazaki's view of Japanese history (including environmental one) well. My most favorite Ghibli movie. Btw... I really loved this video. I have to throw a Ghibli -themed party! Thanks Mina!

Jesus loves you ❤️ Nothing can compare to how he loves you. When he hung on that cross, he thought of you. As they tore open his back, he thought of your prayer time with him. As the thorns dug into his head, he thought of you spending time in the word of God. As the spears went into his side, he imagined embracing you in heaven. Please turn to Jesus and repent and receive Salvation before it's too late. The end times described in the Bible are already happening in the world. Jesus was born into this world free of sin and then he died on the cross for our sins and God raised him from the dead on the third day. He is waiting for you with open arms. His heart longs for you.

I think the soup in the ghibli movie is a Japanese cream stew. It's actually made with flour and butter. If you're interested, I recommend the video by Japanese Cooking 101. The soup is super easy to veganize and tastes amazing! Instead of chicken, just use the seitan chunks from Fitgreenmind's NO CHICKEN recipe. 🥰

[@TheOneAndOnlyJollyrancher]

I thought it was chicken soup, it looked just like chicken! but this sounds good too!

[@ZimVader-0017]

My grandmother used to make thumbprint cookies. It's actually a good starter cookie for kids to make since they're so simple. My grandmother's recipe was plain butter cookies, with the center being a piece of guava paste melted in the center. It is very common in the Caribbean alongside the usual sugar cookies. You see them a lot in school functions.

[@oggyboggy8692]

I love that it's such a worldwide loved recipe, I think it's Swedish from the beginning, here we calm them hallongrottor - raspberry caves

[@Stephanie-ir6ki]

I’m food studies graduate student and we are studying Spirited Away because of this! There are several connotations within food to look at

[@emilalatour4518]

studio ghibli's films are like a love letter to simple yet comforting food😍

[@emilylee5353]

If interested, Arrietty is based on The Borrowers books by Mary Norton. There was a movie adaptation of it in the late 90's staring a few of the actors that have since been in Harry Potter.

[@annakremer5720]

I LOVED the borrowers the 97 film as a child, so it took me forever to watch arriety the ghibli film and was so surprised when the plot was entirely different hahaha

[@emilylee5353]

@@annakremer5720 My grandparents had it on VHS. I used to love watching it when we visited them. :) I've not seen Arrietty yet. Shame it's so different.

[@KlaraL-_-]

The Borrowers!! I immediately thought of that! Gotta love the movie.

[@mlolvera91]

[@leaf2576]

I believe Ashitaka's clothing is based on the clothes of an indigenous group in Japan. Mina Le did a great video about it!

[@phreakout]

Please do more! It's so rare to find vegan Ghibli inspired food, I'm sharing this with my friend so we can do a cooking day involving these kinds of foods!! Last film I saw coincidentally was with aforementioned friend and we saw Imaginary. It was a silly kind of horror film, it was entertaining but probably good to just see when it's streaming somewhere.

[@alainadacosta1222]

Aw I love studio ghibli movies! I watched Spirited Away as a kid and randomly bits from the movie would pop into my head and I wasn’t sure what it was from until I watched it again. The last movie I watched was the Marvels earlier today. I’ve been meaning to make onigiri, that looks good. Recently, I made a stuffed rice ball and then cooked it in a pan so it got crispy

[@anniek2889]

I watched it while preparing my own lunch and now I crave something sweet. I'll definitely try the jam biscuits in future. Thanks for such a cozy video

[@dianabodnari5131]

The last movie I watched was I think The boy and the heron actually. Watched it twice and I loved it each time!

[@rhubarb222]

your Ghibli-themed videos are the coziest thing ever! seriously I loved this one, I want to try the cookie recipe, it seemed so simple and just so comforting and cute. anyway the last movie I saw was probably aquaman and I was fairly disappointed so I do not recommend, unless you like shallow plot line:)

[@leahdidish3872]

Last night I watched "Orion and the Dark" on Netflix! ❤

[@carlyann4070]

Dune 2 as well for me!! Amazing movie! And also great video :)

[@Mina_Rome]

Loved Dune 2!!

[@darknes312]

Those videos are so cool, have a lot of studio ghibli to still watch ☺️

[@silent_chemical6096]

i love the ghibli or anime themes food videos so much🥰. i can't remember the last movie that i've seen, but the last ghibli movie was the boy and the heron for sure.

[@gizzygrizzlie6560]

Schaue immer bis zum Ende und würde weitere Ghibli Videos auch richtig gerne sehen!! 😍 letzter Film: Anatomie eines Falls (nach deiner Insta Empfehlung)

[@BethAge95]

Love Ghibli movies and food, so perfect combination! The onigiri filling looks yummy, have to try it next time I make them! Btw, I'm sure a mold makes them prettier but it's totally possible to make them without. Never had problems just forming them by hand

[@theoriginalmilji]

I watched Damsel on Netflix Friday night. I really liked it. I’m so glad you said that you didn’t understand the plot for The Boy and the Heron. I didn’t either!! I felt so dumb like, “what wrong with me? I’ve always been able to connect with Ghibli movies.” But I guess I need to give it another go. I really appreciate that you do everything plant based. My family and are vegan and huge Ghibli fans so this really helps me when my kids want a special Ghibli meal.👍

[@nonoittdghb]

I watched a really good video essay about it, you should check one out!

[@mlolvera91]

I fell asleep when I went to go watch it, and I tried so hard to fight it😔 idk what happened to me🙃

[@harmonyguevarra7583]

LOVE THIS MINA, thank you! Dune was amazing

[@Shad0203]

I love your channel so much, such relaxing and very calming content ❤

[@yaelpieats]

i haven’t even seen these movies but i loved this video hehe 😊 curious to see pt. 2 of the vegan egg chemistry experiment too! last movie i watched was a Senegalese movie called Ceddo (directed Sembene who is considered the “father of african cinema” or something..) but i actually recommend a different one of his movies called Xala

[@katerinaskronta1926]

Anatomy of a fall, too! Love these kind of videos, thank you so much!

[@nahyunlee6811]

im curious to see how many people watch ghibli movies subbed or dubbed (sub all the way)

[@idkhello4306]

I’m dubbed, but I want to try subbed at some point😊

[@federicade6382]

I've been watching most of them dubbed but the Italian translation is *atrocious* so I really need to watch them subbed! XD

[@grey5626]

Subtitled or original 日本語 with no subtitles, since the early 1980s. Dubs are atrocious. Doesn't help you learn the language nor see how horridly the so-called "translators" may have actually been bowdlerizing the source material if you can't hear the original language.

[@LikeAMelone]

As always, I love the effort you put into these videos! All the little details ❤

[@adal7793]

Made it to the end! I love these kinds of videos and all of your videos Mina 💕

Soo comforting to watch 🤍

[@elleblanchard9379]

My ex was very surprised I had watched one Ghibli movies before (Kiki's Delivery Service) and was like "you have to watch Princess Mononoke!!" And I was traumatized

[@gisellenicolehernandez8284]

This video gave me so much comfort thank you ❤ Last movie I watched was age of Adaline

[@hannahisabellelenck]

Lovely and inspiring video as always! It’s so nice to see how much love you pour into your food and videos - just like u said the Japanese pour into their food. Honestly I just watch every video of yours by default because they’re always amazing so I chose to watch this one even though I’ve never watched ghibli - but I’m glad I did, AMAZING recipes! This Japan theme reminded me how much I loved your „eating one cuisine for the whole day“ series, please bring that back!❤️ also never heard of white food colouring but the soup looks great, will try for sure (and probably just omit the colour). And I really don’t mind when you don’t recreate the „exact“ recipe since these videos really are just about inspiration! And that egg - insane! So sorry the yolk didn’t work out though 😢Another random thought: your kitchen always looks sooo put together and cozy! Love those bird vases, where did u get them?

[@hannahisabellelenck]

And I always watch till the end! Cause for me your videos could be hours long and would still be too short for me! Last movie I watched was Barbie and tbh I was a little underwhelmed… like it’s good but imao it’s not super special?

[@erinsenpai285]

This was such a wholesome experience video, thank you ❤

[@k.g.2528]

Wundervoll! Ich danke dir 💫 Zuletzt habe ich "Kästner und der kleine Dienstag" gesehen und fand den Film ganz gut. Das Video erinnert mich daran, dass ich unbedingt mal wieder Ghibli-Filme schauen sollte - insbesondere Prinzessin Mononoke ... hab' ich das erste mal vor ca. 14 Jahren gesehen und war sooo begeistert davon. Ein Wechselbad der Gefühle; definitiv intensiv.

[@amycooper3413]

Hi, Mina. Long time watching your videos, but barely ever left a comment. First of all, let me thank you for this amazing video. I love this serie where you recreate food from movies/tv series, so I hope you will continue doing that. Regarding The Boy and the Heron, I highly recommend you giving it a second watch, as it helps focusing more on the meaning, rather than on the plot itself. I think this movie is all about grieving and acceptance seen through the eye of a japanese child living during the late 1940s. The director wanted to represent several aspects of his life and difficult childhood (i.e. we know that war is a redundant theme in his movies). Although I find it visually plesing and very entertaining, I do believe that it has some technical problems: the rhythm is very unbalanced, the true intention of the movie are not clear until 30/40 minutes in and it simply tries to say too much in a condensed space. That being said, it's a great movie and I really loved it!

[@julianeschwertner4854]

I watched anatomy of a fall too! (: Thank you for your nice videos ♥️
