In June 1990, about a year before this film's release, director Isao Takahata took 17 members of his staff on a research trip to a rural area in Yamagata prefecture similar to the place where many of the film's present-day (1982) scenes are set. There the staff consulted with a farmer named Inoue, who taught them about harvesting safflowers, as the film's heroine, Taeko, does in the narrative. The staff videotaped their journey so that they would be able to re-create accurately in animation both the fields of safflowers and the natural beauty of the region in general. One artist on Takahata's staff was taught by Inoue how to pick safflowers with her bare hands, and for a year afterwards she would draw nothing that didn't look like a safflower, even if she was trying to draw something mechanical, like a car.
