Miyazaki Island

posted on by Christopher Macdonald
Hayao Miyazaki collaborates on concept of "Teriha" a man-made island in Hakata Bay.

Hayao Miyazaki. There will be approximately 1500 houses in the residential area.

As would be expected of any project involving Hayao Miyazaki, a large theme of the island will be the environment. The houses will receive their electricity from solar s and wind mills. A forested area called "Tinziyu's forest" will contain many insects and small animals for children to interact with. In an effort to minimize the number of cars operating on the island, there will be public transportation provided by buses that operate at 15 kilometers / hour (9.5 mph).

Teriha's official website can be found at Teriha.jp and includes a brief, flash animated conceptual tour of the island
