Set in a poisoned post-apocalyptic world, the story follows Princess Nausicaä as she attempts to mediate between humanity, nature, war, and environmental devastation.

The simplicity of the composition gives the image a calm, elegant quality, very different from the more dramatic theatrical posters associated with the film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1644\" data-end=\"2105\"\u003eThe large red \u003cstrong data-start=\"1658\" data-end=\"1670\"\u003eNAUSICAÄ\u003c\/strong\u003e title across the lower centre gives the poster strong graphic impact. At left, the \u003cstrong data-start=\"1754\" data-end=\"1765\"\u003eAnimage\u003c\/strong\u003e branding and related promotional text connect the piece directly to Tokuma Shoten’s original campaign ecosystem.
