Synopsis / あらすじ
[English / 英語] Ten-year-old Chihiro is moving to a new town with her parents. On their way, they stumble into what appears to be an abandoned theme park, where her parents unwittingly consume food meant for the spirits and are transformed into pigs. Alone and terrified, Chihiro finds herself trapped in the bathhouse “Aburaya,” a sanctuary for the eight million gods of Japanese folklore. The sorceress Yubaba, who rules the bathhouse, steals Chihiro’s name and renames her “Sen.” To save her parents and find a way back to the human world, Chihiro must labor in this supernatural realm. Along her journey, she encounters the mysterious boy Haku, the enigmatic spirit No-Face, and the multi-armed boiler man Kamajii. The film poses profound questions: What is the significance of a name? What defines our identity? And how do we reclaim our true selves in a world that seeks to erase them?
[Japanese / 日本語] 10歳の少女・千尋は、両親と共に新しい町へと引っ越す途中に、廃墟のようなテーマパークへと迷い込みます。そこで許可なく神々の食べ物を口にした両親は、報いとして豚の姿に変えられてしまいました。一人取り残された千尋が辿り着いたのは、八百万（やおよろず）の神々が疲れを癒やす湯屋「油屋」。この地を支配する魔女・湯婆婆に名前を奪われ、新たに「千」と名付けられた彼女は、両親を救い、元の世界に戻るために、この異界で働くことを決意します。謎の少年ハクや、不思議な精霊カオナシ、ボイラー室を仕切る釜爺たちとの出会いを通じて、彼女は自らを見失わずに生きる術を学んでいきます。本作は、私たちに静かに問いかけます。「名前」とは何か。「アイデンティティ」とは何か。そして、自分を消し去ろうとする世界の中で、いかにして「本当の自分」を取り戻すのか。
