Called the Spirited Away No Face Munching Piggy Bank, the automated product springs into action once coins are placed onto the red bowl it holds in its outstretched hands.
Given the huge demand for Studio Ghibli merchandise, this new product is sure to be a hit with locals and overseas visitors with a soft spot for the lonely spirit from Spirited Away.
There’s a mysterious boy who turns into a dragon, a stinky bowl-hatted white radish, soot sprites who hide in the shadows, and of course, a lonely spirit called No Face.
Studio Ghibli’s 2001 animated film Spirited Away remains the highest-earning anime in Japan, with much of its success due to its unique cast of magical characters.
