Colorful characters and animals come alive in the stained-glass windows of Ghibli Museum Mitaka.

The films of Hayao Miyazaki represent the height of two-dimensional animation, but Takaaki and Yuriko Yatsuda have helped bring them into the third dimension. Visitors to the Ghibli Museum Mitaka can stand in the shadows of the artists' stained-glass works, which colorfully depict the animator's creations, and feel almost as if Miyazaki's characters are surrounding them.
