If you’re looking for official Ghibli merchandise in Japan, the Donguri Kyowakoku (“Acorn Republic”) retail chain has you covered.
The packaging pays homage to American comic-book style illustration, with even the Ghibli logo in the top right corner of each box stylised to look like something out of an American comic.
Called the Vintage Glass collection, the new lineup takes classic Ghibli movie scenes and gives them an American comic look, with pops of bright colour and large, vibrant speech bubbles.
Speech bubbles and pops of bright colour add a new comic twist to movies like My Neighbour Totoro and Spirited Away.
