<p>You should know that the Netherlands does have a theatrical release before senshin's predicted DVD/Bluray release (and long before 2016).  <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2013293/releaseinfo?ref_=tt_ql_9" rel="nofollow">IMDB</a> says that you should be able to view <em>Kaze Tachinu</em> on May 1, 2014.</p>

<p>As near as I can tell, there is (as of 22 Oct 2013) no announced release date for the Blu-ray/DVD version of <em>The Wind Rises</em>. However, the recent history of Ghibli films suggests a pattern.</p>

<pre>
FILM                     IN THEATERS    HOME VIDEO RELEASE
Arrietty                 July 2010      June 2011
From Up on Poppy Hill    July 2011      June 2012
The Wind Rises           July 2013      _________
</pre>

<p>As the astute reader will infer, this suggests that <em>The Wind Rises</em> will probably be released (on home video) in June 2014 or thereabouts.</p>

<hr>

<p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> <em>The Wind Rises</em> will be available on home video (Blu-ray and DVD) in Japan <a href="http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E9%A2%A8%E7%AB%8B%E3%81%A1%E3%81%AC-Blu-ray-%E5%AE%AE%E5%B4%8E%E9%A7%BF/dp/B00J2NX8NW/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1396295586&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=%E9%A2%A8%E7%AB%8B%E3%81%A1%E3%81%AC" rel="nofollow">on <strong>June 18, 2014</strong></a>, just as I surmised.</p>

i wonder if the pattern is deliberate or by luck, it's almost like with Square releasing 3 new Main Final Fantasy games on Home Console before moving onto the next generation

<p>I have been searching for the (Japanese) release date of the Kaze Tachinu (The Wind Rises) Blu-ray.</p>

<p>As U.S. cinema release is in February 2014, so me being in the Netherlands means it might arrive in 2016.</p>

<p>So, when is the Japanese Blu-ray release?</p>
