Nothing’s more wholesome than these seven servings of Totoro and summertime produce goods.
Join us for a journey to the countryside to find the forest giant from Studio Ghibli’s My Neighbour Totoro.
Fans wonder if this is a cryptic sign that a dream collaboration between the two animation companies is on the horizon.
“It was a dream, but it wasn’t a dream!” is the perfect tagline for these gorgeous Ghibli bags and pouches.
Filled with awesome Ghibli character goods, Donguri Kyowakoku has some of the best lucky bags in all of Japan.
There are many memorable moments from the movie, but only real fans will know what this bag holder’s about.
Two versions of the divine Great Forest Spirit, plus an adorable mini Totoro to keep you company on your outdoor excursions.
