If you're someone who has a knack for anime films, these quirky chopsticks feature prints of different cartoon characters from [Studio Ghibli](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/washin-studio-ghibliinspired-glasses) films such as My Neighbor Totoro Green and Kiki's Delivery Service.

These decorative chopsticks come in an elegant black design with a tiny anime character printed cleverly at the top. These chopsticks pay tribute to the work of Studio Ghibli that became famous for several hit anime films such as Kiki's Delivery Service, Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro. There are four different characters to choose from, available in various color schemes. Each pair of chopsticks is sold individually. My favorite are the green Totoro chopsticks that feature a print of the large, friendly woodland spirit, Totoro.
