When the wind blows, we have to work hard to survive.

This sentence is quoted from the famous poem "The Wind Rises" by the French poet Paul Valery in "The Seaside Cemetery" in Hayao Miyazaki's movie "The Wind Rises".

"THE WIND RISES" (English: THE WIND RISES) is an animated film adapted from the manga of the same name by director and scriptwriter Hayao Miyazaki. The film was released in Japan on July 20, 2013.

The film tells the story of Jiro Horikoshi, the developer of the Japanese Zero fighter jet, when he was young. Most of Miyazaki's works are filled with fantasy elements such as flying in the sky on a broomstick and fish roe coming from the seaside. But this time in the film, there is no incredible magic or monsters. Jiro Horikoshi is the actual person who designed Zero War in World War II.

This film is the only feature film directed by Hayao Miyazaki that does not have a pseudonym "の" in its title. It is also the first film to be based on a real person.

Died of tuberculosis. The heroine in the novel is named Setsuko, while the heroine in the movie is named Naoko, which also comes from another novel "Naoko" published by the author in 1941.
