Studio Ghibli has launched two hourglass diorama sets, allowing fans to further immerse themselves in the enchanting worlds of My Neighbour Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service
These "Diorama Hourglass" sets merge artistry with functionality, capturing iconic scenes from the Japanese anime studio's beloved films while marking the passage of time with sand timers.
The two sets feature iconic characters from Studio Ghibli's films.
The first hourglass set features Totoro, while the second features Jiji, Kiki's black cat.
The My Neighbour Totoro hourglass diorama features Totoro under a camphor tree, thoughtfully gazing at a leaf on his head
Measuring a compact 100 x 160 x 90mm, the design is rich with detail.
At the base of the tree, the blue Medium Totoro gathers acorns, a charming nod to the character’s antics in the film.
Perched above is the white Small Totoro, keeping watch while a ladybug rests nearby. Even the elusive Soot Sprites make an appearance, adding a playful touch that feels almost alive.
The second hourglass diorama draws from Kiki’s Delivery Service, featuring the curious black cat Jiji atop Kiki's mother's potion desk
With its hourglass set amid Kokiri's Laboratory, the 120 x 73 x 85mm diorama captures the whimsical charm of everyday magic.
Jiji peering inquisitively into the hourglass gives the diorama an authentic touch to Studio Ghibli's iconic ability to turn everyday moments into memorable cinema magic.
