He used to make a lot of short illustrated stories too. My favourite is 'Imouto He' because I love the plane concept - there is really nothing like it and I wonder if an aerospace engineer could look at it and spot any reasons it couldn't exist.
Seeing Miyazaki’s Pippi makes me so sad that we never got to see that movie. I’ve been reading a ton of Astrid Lindgren with my kid lately, and for many of them I see them in my mind’s eye as Myazaki films, and especially Pippi. Myazaki and Lindgren have a lot in common, I think, in how they tell stories from children’s perspectives. What we’ve got for Pippi movie adaptations instead are very poor things.

I highly recommend the NHK documentary "10 years with Hayao Miyazaki" that shows how he works (and also his sometimes difficult character).

There’s so much magic, for lack of a better word, in those illustrations. Miyazaki is really one of a kind.

Thank you for sharing the image boards! They're very rare and impressed me. How have you found them?

And nowadays people believe that just setting a Ghibli filter on an AI image generator makes them Miyazaki's equal, because talent isn't real.
