The Wind Has Risen

The Wind Has Risen (風立ちぬ – Kaze Tachinu) is a Japanese novel by Hori Tatsuo, written between 1936–37. It is set in a tuberculosis sanitarium in Nagano, Japan. The plot follows the condition of the female character's illness. It was originally serialised in Kaizō.

The title is a quote from Paul Valéry's poem "Le Cimetière marin".[1]

Three films have been produced based on the story. Most recently, Hayao Miyazaki's 2013 film, Kaze Tachinu ("The Wind Rises", Academy Award-nominated for Best Animated Feature), is loosely based on the novel.
