Summer is upon us, and that means people in Japan are now in a battle against the season’s heat. If you’re a fan of Studio Ghibli, there’s a way you can stay cool this summer while still showing your love for the animation giant’s films.
Donguri Republic, a chain store in Japan that specializes in Studio Ghibli merchandise, released a set of new hand fans inspired by three of the studio’s most popular movies: My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, and Kiki’s Delivery Service.

The hand fans highlight iconic characters from the movies (namely Totoro, Jiji and No-Face) in colorful variations. The fans are also very Japanese in design; they feature motifs of Japanese flora, such as wasabi leaves and clematis flowers, and fireworks, a common sight during summers in Japan.

Some of the fans also have little charms attached to the handles, and each one is a nod to a specific scene or character from the movies.

The store’s summer lineup also has other Ghibli-fied traditional Japanese items. This includes drawstring bags with familiar designs and a metal windchime of Totoro atop a dome-shaped cherry blossom tree.
