With Ghibli co-founder and Totoro director Hayao Miyazaki known to be extremely protective over his work and intellectual properties, it's no surprise that the Totoro lamp is an elevated piece of merchandise. The gentle yellow light it emits evokes the serene, moonlit pastures of My Neighbor Totoro, perfect for winding down in the evening. Whether reading before bed or setting the mood for a peaceful night's sleep, the Totoro lamp seems like the perfect touch for Ghibli fans. More than just a collectorâs item, the Little Totoro Silicone Lamp seamlessly integrates fandom into the daily lives of Ghibli lovers, capturing the essence of Ghibli's storytelling -- a blend of childhood nostalgia, supernatural wonder and everyday magic.

The lamp provides up to 30 hours of lighting given a 6-hour charge, with three different adjustable levels of brightness to help set the perfect mood. It also comes with a USB charging cable (95 cm) and an artificial leaf that can be inserted to look like it's being held, echoing one of the movie's most iconic scenes of Totoro protecting his head on a rainy night. For those eager to bring this magical piece home, the Little Totoro Silicone Lamp is available via Donguri Sora, Studio Ghibli's official online store, for 11,000 yen (approximately US$78). However, the item is limited edition, with an allotted purchase of only one item per buyer, and fans should expect restocks to sell out quickly.
