That day was nothing special when I found a mossy green plush toy among a pile of many others. I have no idea what, or who it was. Only that I have a keen interest on anything cute and weird, and the little furball captured my heart. Google Lens did not exist during that time yet. I guess it was a twist of fate when I tried doing a quick research online with the use of some random keywords and found something that exactly described it.
Totoro, that’s what it was. A forest spirit from a Japanese animated film produced by Studio Ghibli. I was so happy knowing about it and even more so upon knowing about the rest of the gang. The movie was indeed a masterpiece and I suddenly started craving to know more about the other works of Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki.
To have found out about Totoro was one of my favorite accidents. I have watched over 10+ Studio Ghibli films. Some of which I have watched a couple times and my collection grew from one, to a few more plush toys and other Ghibli-related items. I even bought those bootleg ones to satisfy my craving and well, since they were cheap so why not. Thanks to a local thrift shop that is and and I have been collecting since then.
By the way, since this website is still a work in progress, please expect most of the content only in written form without any image attachments. Been oversharing in Facebook without much to talk about but no worries. I will do some cleaning up in there as well and move all that stuff in here.
Just go here if you wish to know more about what I do!
