Looking for a home やどさがし (Yadosagashi) Ghibli Museum Short film Art Booklet

Looking for a Home (also known as House-hunting) is a short film written, directed and produced by Hayao Miyazaki for Studio Ghibli. The story follows Fuki who sets out with a big rucksack in high spirits on a journey to look for a new house. Along her way, Fuki encounters and befriends numerous manifestations of the natural world.

All the sound effects in this film were done by human voice. This short film contains little to no spoken Japanese, and the story is conveyed almost entirely through art and sound effects. Sound is also depicted on screen as animated writing. The short film was originally released on 3 January 3 2006, and is shown only in the Saturn Theater at the Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, Japan but it has also had one screening outside of the museum as part of the JapanNYC Festival at Carnegie Hall in New York City on 26 March 2011.
