The renowned Hayao Miyazaki joined protesters in a successful attempt to stop the removal of a .37 acre patch of trees near the Fuchi no Mori forest. Tokyo development companies said today they would halt plans to commercially develop that land. The surrounding forest is known as the scenery that inspired Miyazaki’s My Neighbor Totoro film. Miyazaki is the chairman for the Preservation of Fuchi no Mori council.
