They’d be good friends I think

“The imaginary world of Hayao Miyazaki in Aubusson tapestries” project has unveiled a new tapestry today. It’s the banquet scene from Spirited away where Chihiro confronts No-face, and it’s GLORIOUS.
Pictures are from Catsuka and Cité internationale de la tapisserie’s insta. You can also see it here in video (all in French sorry!), 40min has the “tombée de métier” (when weavers cut the warp threads once a tapestry is finished) and 1h08min is when they unveil it.
Aubusson manufacture project is to make 5 full size tapestries from Ghibli’s works using traditional weaving techniques.
They have already worked on Princess Mononoke, finished last year:
But the scenes I anticipate the most are coming, as they are now starting to work on Howl’s Moving Castle - especially Howl’s wizard bedroom :D
They are atm working on the cartons (weaving guide/blueprints):
Spirited Away tapestry will stay exposed in Aubusson for the moment, while Mononoke one will be shown at Opéra de Bordeaux in March, and in Musée du Quai Branly in Paris this summer ;)

ID: No Face/Kaonashi from Spirited Away is crouched down in profile, surrounded by dirty dishes and food debris, offering a pile of gold to someone out of the picture. His mask smiles in front of a mop of bright green hair, mirroring the wide grin of his real mouth. He is adorned in gold chains and nuggets, nestled in the blue fathered cloak draped over his back.
Saw Spirited Away: Live on Stage earlier this week and was completely blown away by the performances and puppetry, especially for my fav No Face/Kaonashi.
After looking at his initial designs for the film, I wanted to try my hand at designing a take on him.
