What is known

Found image supplied for The Shadow Zone: a close still from the NHK World documentary "10 Years with Hayao Miyazaki," its title partly legible in the corner. The white-haired subject presses both hands over his face, fingers spread across his eyes and glasses, a wristwatch visible on his left wrist. A window with trees sits behind him, and a pastel drawing of a pink, ship-like shape is pinned to the wall at right. There is no subtitle in the frame. Maker, origin, and date are not recorded. The exif scrub reported no location metadata to strip.
