Abstract
In the recent decades, there are many literary works that discuss about environmental related issues. Especially Japan that oftentimes criticize those issues in modern works such as animation films. Mari Okada conveyed a hidden message about environmental issues in her recent work, Sayonara no Asa ni Yakusoku no Hana wo Kazarou. By using an ecocritical approach, this study discussed about the environmental issues, environmental ethics and nature’s representation depicted in the film. It is understood that the issues that were brought up in the film were racism, wild life exploitation, and pollution due to industrialization by a kingdom in the story. The kingdom also violated 5 out of 8 environmental ethics. From these results, it is inferred that this act is due to anthropocentrism ethics practiced by the kingdom. And the message hidden by creator were that nature will always respond.
