Where is Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind set?

Japanese manga series

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind is not pinned on this map. It is set in Pejite, Sea of Corruption and Valley of the Wind, which do not exist. Where the manga takes place, not where it was made: a manga is drawn and filmed nowhere, so this is the only kind of location it has.

Why there is no pin

This manga is set in Pejite, Sea of Corruption and Valley of the Wind, which do not exist. An invented place has no coordinates because it is not anywhere, and this atlas will not borrow real ones for it unless Wikidata says which real place it stands for.

This page exists because that is a better answer than silence. If a real place belongs here, it can be added to Wikidata, and this page fills in on the next rebuild.

Drawn from these real places

Nothing was filmed at these and the story does not happen in them. They are the real places this manga’s setting was modelled on, named in its Japanese Wikipedia article. That is the weakest claim this atlas makes about a place, so it is listed apart from everything above and never counted as a filming location.

Frequently asked questions

Was Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind filmed anywhere?

No. A manga is drawn and filmed nowhere, so the places on this page are where its story is set, from Wikidata's narrative location and from Wikipedia's setting categories.

Where does this information come from?

Narrative location statements on Wikidata, and the setting categories Wikipedia editors file the work under, which are labelled per Wikipedia. Nothing is guessed from the plot.
