Miyazaki Hayao once said that Oga had a sharp, observant eye.


Speaking of Oga Kazuo and Tonari no Totoro, it seems that abunai referred to a place in the anime as 'Shichikuniyama' in another thread.

In the Danish dub of Tonari no Totoro, the Danish voice actors had difficulties with all the names, but especially with the place name Shichikuniyama and the family name Kusakabe.

Well, I beg your pardon, but were you referring to the place where the hospital was in Tonari no Totoro, abunai? If so, actually that place name is Shichikokuyama.
Probably it is modelled after real-life Hachikokuyama.

In Hachikokuyama there was Hoseien, which is now Shinyamanote Hospital. Hoseien was spoiler[a sanatorium for tuberculosis]. Therefore the mother of Satsuki and Mei may be spoiler[a tubercular patient]. In the novel version of Tonari no Totoro the author Kubo Tsugiko wrote that the girls' mother was spoiler[a case of tuberculosis].

サツキとメイはお父さんと郊外の一軒屋に引越して来ました。退院が間近にせまった母さんをspoiler[空気のきれいな]家に迎えようとお父さんが考えてのことでした。その一軒屋はずーっと前にやっぱりspoiler[胸の病気にかかった]人が療養するために建てた別荘だったのですが、永いこと空屋になっていたのです。

お母さんがspoiler[結核になったのは、結核菌がお母さんについちゃったからで、お父さんのせいじゃない]

ばあちゃんが娘のころ女中をしていたお屋敷の奥さまがspoiler[肺結核]で、それで、この家は建てられた。spoiler[結核療養所として名高い]七国山病院に近いせいもあったし、なによりも奥さまのお気に入りだった、性質のあたたかいよく働くばあちゃんの嫁入り先がこの松之郷だったからである。

小学校3年のサツキと5歳のメイは、父さんと郊外の一軒屋に越して来ます。入院中の母さんが退院して来るのを、spoiler[空気のきれいな]家にむかえるためでした。

ある日大決心をして、ずっとむこうの山の方にある療養所にお母さんをたずねて出かけてしまうのです。



At Hoseien Hospital Fujisawa Shūhei spoiler[underwent an operation on his right lung].
