Tokyo, Japan – The weather in Japan’s capital was characteristically hot and muggy on Friday, but that was no obstacle to Yoko Watabiki.
The 22-year-old college student would normally avoid Tokyo’s bustling city centre and steer clear of big crowds in the heat of July. But even as sweat glistened on her forehead and her skin felt prickly on her walk to the cinema from the train station, the discomfort was worth it: Soon she would see How Do You Live, the latest masterpiece from her favourite director, Hayao Miyazaki.
