However, using the sealing wax kits does still mean working with fire and tools with metal parts that will become hot during the process, so proper caution is a must, especially if this is an arts and crafts project you’re doing with younger Ghibli fans.
The sealing wax kits are being offered through Studio Ghibli specialty store Donguri Kyowakoku for 6,050 yen (US$39.80) and can be ordered through the chain’s online store (Laputa here, Kiki here, and Howl here).
A lot of Ghibli fans, likewise, have an appreciation for traditional methods of creating beautiful art, and offering a unique opportunity to do just that is a new series of Ghibli sealing wax sets, which let you make gorgeous accompaniments to hand-written letters and even eye-catching accessories.
The kits are designed to be easy enough for even first-time wax artists to use.
