In the clip, museum director Kazuki Anzai tells the masked Miyazaki that they’d like to change the signboard to reflect the new items on the menu.
“Wara” means “straw” in Japanese, and looking at the signboard, Miyazaki points out that the title “Mugi Wara Boshi” is already written on it.
The new signboard is still a work-in-progress so it’s yet to be revealed if this will be the final design.
It’s nice to see Miyazaki in such a playful mood at the Ghibli Museum, and now that we’ve seen the way he sketches, he’s inspired us to create some cute characters of our own.
