In The Wind Rises, Jiro inspired by the famous Italian aeronautical designer Caproni dreams of flying and designing beautiful airplanes.

The film chronicles much of his life, and depicts key historical events that deeply affected the course of Jiros life, including the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, the Great Depression, the tuberculosis epidemic and Japans plunge into war. He meets and falls in love with Nahoko, and grows and cherishes his friendship with his colleague Honjo. A tremendous innovator, Jiro leads the aviation world into the future. Miyazaki pays tribute to engineer Jiro Horikoshi and author Tatsuo Hori in his creation of the fictional character Jirothe center of the epic tale of love, perseverance, and the challenges of living and making choices in a turbulent world.
