The Japanese concept of "Ma" refers to the space or gap between objects that goes beyond mere physical dimensions. "Ma" represents the interval, pause, or emptiness in space or the relationship between things. It is also about tension and harmony in the environment and the significance of what is left unsaid or unoccupied. In Miyazaki's movies, "ma" is often depicted through quiet moments and atmospheric scenes. These shots establish the film's mood, symbolize themes, affect pacing and rhythm, and provide visual poetry. These moments of "Ma" allow viewers to contemplate, reflect, and feel the emotions conveyed by the characters and their surroundings. Moreover, "Ma" includes shots of nature or empty spaces where characters may not necessarily be present. Highlighting the beauty and significance of the spaces between characters and events adds depth, meaning, and visual richness to the storytelling experience.
