Dreamy T-Shirts featuring scenes from Studio Ghibli Museum debut

Although the Loewe x Studio Ghibli collection is incredibly enchanting, most fans can only watch as their hopes of owning a piece go up in smoke due to a Calcifer-induced blaze due to its pricing, which may reach US$12,780. The well-known Japanese animation studio has just released themed t-shirts under the Ghibli Museum brand, reminding customers that its enchantment is accessible to all.

The t-shirts pay reference to a famously photo-banned tourist attraction in Tokyo that is a bit of a hard-to-find destination. In an unexpected move, the museum is encouraging visitors to wear symbols of its location on their sleeves.

 First up, there is a design that shows Mei strolling across a beautiful landscape with a miniature Totoro, and is a replica of a Ghibli Museum window display for My Neighbor Totoro.

The English translation of a phrase by Studio Ghibli creator Hayao Miyazaki is printed on the t-shirt, reading: “Everything in this world is in motion. The air, the clouds, the animals, the trees, the grass, even the continents are moving. People have long thought that it would be nice if the paintings moved.”

The front of this shirt remains minimal, with only a small patch of the mystical character.

Next is a drawing of a porthole-style window at the museum filled with soot sprites from Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro.

The motto of the website, “Let’s become lost children together,” is translated to English on its front as “Let’s lose our way, together.”

Another shirt with Laputa: Castle in the Sky references was created using a drawing of the Tiger Moth airship that was showcased on display during a recent exhibition.

The fourth and final design, which has Dola’s crest on the back, is another homage to the 1986 movie. According to SoraNews24, Miyazaki uses a simple picture of the character flying alongside a dragonfly and a bespectacled pig as a technique of incorporating himself into his animations.

The cost of the wearable souvenirs, which come in adult and children’s sizes, is 5,940 (US$42) and 4,340 (US$31), respectively. The Ghibli Museum’s online shop is where you may purchase them.
