This dissertation examines the individuation process for the Japanese people through Jungian interpretation of three contemporary Japanese animation films; My Neighbor Totoro (Tokuma, Hara, Miyazaki, Yamashita, Ogata, Sato, Oga, et al., 1988), Princess Mononoke (Tokuma, Ujiie, Narita, Miyazaki, Hisaishi, Ando, Kosaka et al., 1997) and Spirited Away (Tokuma, Suzuki, Miyazaki, Hisaishi, Andou, Takeshige et al., 2001). Adopting Kawai's approach (1982) to a Jungian interpretation of Japanese fairy tales, the interpretation follows three premises: (a) the state of the ego in the modern western world is only one of many ways the ego can manifest itself; (b) individuation tasks required for an independent Western ego that is based on the masculine principle are different from those required for an inter-related Japanese ego that has been immersed in the mother principle; and (c) the individuation process for the Japanese is better appreciated by paying attention to a feminine representation of ego than to a masculine representation. The interpretation lead the author to make the following observations: (a) the heroines in the films share connections with those in traditional fairy tales; i.e. the ailing mother in My Neighbor Totoro (Tokuma et al., 1988) and Tsu-u in Crane Wife, Princes Mononoke and the women of urami (resentment), and Chihiro in Spirited Away (Tokuma et al., 2001) and the wise heroine in Charcoal Maker Choja; (b) each film seemed to address a certain problem of the collective unconscious in Japan, i.e. a problem of the overworked feminine ego, a conflict between a traditional Japanese ego and her modern westernized shadow, and a problem of the negative mother archetype; (c) the Japanese deal with the problem of evil through acceptance and co-existence rather than through fighting and killing; and (d) despite rapid Westernization, the Japanese collective unconscious is filled with images of Shinto spirituality and a delicate influence of the Buddhist worldview. By including perspectives sensitive to the Japanese culture, the psychological interpretation of these animation films seemed to reveal the problems and tasks in the individuation process that are unique for the Japanese and present solutions in a culturally appropriate manner.
