Hayao Miyazaki is fascinated with Japanese folklore and religion and its influences can be seen in many of his films including Spirited Away.
Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away borrows its characters and setting from Japanese folklore. Spirited Away is often considered Miyazaki’s masterpiece and won him his Academy Award for Best Animated Feature at the 75th ceremony. The film follows a young girl, Chihiro, who is transported to the spirit world where she begins working at a bathhouse for all the mystical spirits.
Spirited Away’s Japanese Title Is A Folklore Reference The original title of Spirited Away is Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi, literally Sen and Chihiro’s Spiriting Away. In Japanese folklore, kamikakushi refers to someone being spirited away by the kami or gods in the Shinto religion. In the horror movie-like scene in Spirited Away, Chihiro’s parents anger the kami by consuming their food. For their misdeeds, Chihiro’s parents are transformed into pigs, but it’s Chihiro who is “spirited away”.
Kamaji Is Based On Tsuchigumo One of the first friends Chihiro makes is the boiler man, Kamaji. He is an elderly gentleman with many long arms that he uses to do multiple tasks at once to keep the water and minerals flowing in the bathhouse. The mythological origin of Kamaji in Spirited Away is a spider-like yōkai called the Tsuchigumo. With six arms to accompany his two legs, Kamaji does resemble the Tsuchigumo from Japanese folklore.
