Princess Mononoke
Hayao Miyazaki1997
Through Lunapunk
A forest god that becomes the vast, translucent Night-Walker after dusk. Miyazaki's clearest vision of a nature that is sacred and most alive in the dark.
Through Solarpunk
An ironworks town and the gods of the forest go to war, and neither side is simply wrong. The genre's great lesson that industry and wilderness have to negotiate.
Through Pyropunk
Irontown, a forge settlement that clears the forest to mine and smelt iron, against the old gods. The fire that forges set against the world it consumes.
