Raindrop-Imitating Stationary Holders

Studio Ghibli Unveils a My Neighbor Totoro Paper Clip Holder

— October 16, 2020 — Lifestyle
Studio Ghibli introduces the whimsical My Neighbor Totoro Paper Clip Holder as an adorable desk accessory. The lifestyle item features the lovable Totoro from the Hayao Miyazaki film, My Neighbor Totoro. He evokes a happy expression as he blushes holding the same umbrella from the film.

This expression implies his enjoyment of the rainfall that taps on the umbrella he holds. It is the size of one's palm and features a hidden magnet under the umbrella. This component is what attracts the paper clips to hang on the top of the piece. He stands on top of a trunk as the playful base foundation. The paper clip holder is available for purchase at Donguri Sora.
