That, it turns out, can be done in our world. “Totoro’s fluffy tummy feels so nice!” reads the Japanese text in the above photo of the My Neighbor Totoro Reclining Sofa, the newest offering from Ghibli specialty shop chain Donguri Kyowakoku. And the “reclining” part of the name doesn’t just mean that Totoro can lie flat on his back, but that you can adjust the sofa’s angle to your liking, with a total of 14 possible settings/poses he can hold.
The Totoro Reclining Sofa is priced at 36,000 yen (US$342) and can be ordered here through the Donguri Kyowakoku online shop, with shipping scheduled for late June.
