Founded in 1950, this 17. Studio Ghibli is a Japanese animation film studio founded in June 1985 by the director Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata and the producer Toshio Suzuki. The company's logo features the character Totoro (a large forest spirit) from Hayao Miyazaki's film "My Neighbor Totoro".
It has its headquarters in Koganei, Tokyo. Share your love of all things Ghibli! Ghibli's films owes much to their characters: the high-flying Princess Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind; the World War I-fighter ace-turned-swine Porco Rosso; the spirited ten-year-old Chihiro, spirited away into the realm of folklore; the dog. So OP, I've done a lot of OCD research on the art supplies used in Studio Ghibli background painting.
The paints are Nicker poster paints (a type of highly opaque gouache) on TMK paper (the exactly type of TMK Paper I do not remember and will need to check). They use Namura paint brushes in the traditional bamboo handle style, medium width/length with a mixture of goat and weasel hair. They.
Specifically in newer movies (Spirited away onward). It almost looks watercolor, but the colors are just so opaque and clean. My best guess is watercolour, with some acrylic or gouache, as well as some computer cleanup.

(It brings to mind the attitude of Studio Ghibli's famous painter Kazuo Oga, who's known to favor low-grade paints in his work.) In his notes, Miyazaki purposely leans into sounding old and stuck in his ways. Ghibli painters use gouache for painting backgrounds.
Watercolor is less forgiving and more variable in finish, making it less practical for studio production where consistency matters. Anyone know which tools (brushes, paint, pastels, color pencils, pencils, pens) studio ghibli artists use? Not just hayao miyazaki, but the other artists as well (Hiromasa Yonebayashi and Kazuo Oga (especially him, his background artwork is just breath takingly beautiful)).

I googled their Wind Rises storyboards and noticed that many of the panels were painted in with watercolor. Does anyone know what kind of paper the studio used, when planning for their films? I mainly would like to know the fiber/acidity, medium (this one might be redundant though the paper might be multi-media?), dimensions, texture, absorbency. Any approximate answer based on knowledge of.
