My Neighbor Totoro (Page 8)
Cute plushies, art and pottery make this a hanami flower-viewing experience like no other.
Whether you’re looking at them from a modern perspective or a traditional one, these kinchaku are adorable.
Studio Ghibli co-founder was sketching Totoro a decade before the forest spirit appeared on movie screens.
Cute kitties offered as blind-buys, but with an option for those who understandably want them all.
Totoro and Jiji stationery and craft supplies are set to put smiles on faces of Ghibli fan kids and grown-ups alike.
Four designs let you entrust your thoughts to Totoro and other Ghibli characters when you put pen to paper.
The store calls them “accessory cases,” but they’ll hold whatever you want that fits inside.
Totoro’s traditional snack time may not fill up our stomachs, but it’ll fill our hearts with warm fuzzy feelings.
No need to worry about breaking these lovely pieces of Ghibli art apart or gluing them so they can’t be puzzles again.
If you’re a Ghibli fan, you’ve definitely seen this scene before, just not during the classic anime film.
Four different designs bursting with adorable Ghibli characters and good-luck symbols from Japanese culture.
