Hi
I'm so sorry to reply you so late.
Mmmm..I think it would be not so difficult.
Do you know Hayao Miyazaki who is the famous animation director of
Japan.
If you know him and like him, I'd like to talk about one of his
animation.
In his animations, I like '' Sen and Chihiro are spirited away'
(千と千尋の神隠し) the most.
How about you?? Do you have another Hayao's animation you like?

The name of witch that turns Chihiro's parentes is Yu-bah-bah(I don't
know how to translate her name in English).
I hope you like this story too☆
It is not the story just for superficial but including many deep
messages. You may also see many Japanese cultures in it.
Old Japanese thought every natures have own spirits and people
respected them as gods.
Bcause of these, it seems to difficut to understand, however you can
learn and feel Japanese spirits by watching it, I think.
Between Hawaii and Japan, there are eight hours difference. By way of
parenthesis, now is ten o'clock pm in Japan time.

Hi! Wow, you have so many questions.
・What exactly are spirits?
Japanese think everything has its own spirits. Forexample, rain.
house, flower . river, water,snow......and so on.
Everything you can imagine. The spirits protect and govern the rain,
house flower river.....and so on.
How many spirits are there?
The same number as the natures and things.
Which old gods are the most important in Japan?
Mmmm....it is sun. Her name is
A-ma-te-ra-su-o-o-mi-ka-mi.She is the most important
goddess.
What do you think the movie represents? For example does it represent
the progression from childhood to maturity? What else coul the movie
represent?
I think so too. I also think the movie represents desire of
people although it's not the only thing this movie represents.
Does the movie accuratly show Japanese values and morals?
Not whole the movie, but part of it reflect Japanese values
and morals.
Why do the spirits go to the bathhouse?
To help getting reid of their tiredness.
Are all the people in the bathhouse spirits?
Spirits exist everywhere. The spirits in the movie just
visit the bathhouse from their home.

Well, there are no collect answers about who no-face is.
All the people watched this movie have to think about it by theirselves.
I think no-face is symbolic of human's greeds.
If we spoil it, it gonna have strong power and destroys all the thing.
On the other hands, it also so lonley and what it really wants is the
place of ease and Sen successed to lead it to that place.
About your second question, I don't know how Sen could know there
aren't her parents.
About your third question, in this movie, many old gods in Japan are
appeared and if you
wanna know all of them, tell me their name, so I can explain about them.
Sahoko
Yay! I watched it last night, it was pretty good. Can I ask you some
questions? Like I don't understand what no-face is? The spirit who
hands out all the gold, and eats three people. How did Sen know that
her parents were not any of the pigs that they showed her? I liked
the movie, but I didnt understand all the deep messages. I have some
more questions and I don't understand about all the spirits. Well
thats it for now talk to you later.
