Over the longevity of a man's life & work you get a sense of where his mind is, where his heart is, where his humor is, where his dread is. It's the best thing you could ask, that this kind of understanding of an artist doesn't happen posthumously.
- Maurice Sendak
My Neighbor Totoro was set in Sayama Hills, Tokorozawa, about an hour outside of Tokyo. After the film aired on Japanese TV, many villages around the country thought it was their own.
Japanese illustrator Ariduka55 says she began to imagine a world where humans live alongside giant animals after watching Studio Ghibli films, particularly "My Neighbor Totoro" and Princess Mononoke
I love independent bookshops. Every time I visit somewhere, I always try to seek one out. Some of my favorites are @FoggyPineBooks & @Malaprops
What are your favorite indie bookshops?

It's #NationalAnimeDay so I will share one of my favorites: Death Note.
What's yours?
