Fans of Studio Ghibli will be familiar with "Totoro," the gentle forest spirit from the 1988 animation, "Tonari no Totoro" (となりのトトロ), or "My Neighbour Totoro" in English.
Well, I was strolling through Nagasaki's Shinchi Chinatown on Sunday morning when I came across a shop-full of totoros! It's a Ghibli-themed gift shop called "Renka".
Here I am, in the photo, standing next to totoro.
"Here I am, Standing next to Totoro" can be translated into Japanese as:
トトロの隣に私が立っています。
Totoro no tonari ni watashi ga tatte-imasu.
And "Totoro no tonari" is a nice reversal of the film title, "Tonari no Totoro"! 🤗
Why am I standing there with an open umbrella on a bright sunny morning? Remember the scene where Satsuki offers Totoro an umbrella while they are waiting at a bus stop in the rain?
