Mom Makes A Studio Ghibli-Inspired Terarrium For Her Daughter’s Birthday And It Will Spirit You Away

ADVERTISEMENT

Hayao Miyazaki and his magical movies have inspired a lot of fan art (including Totoro cakes and Studio Ghibli tattoos), but this one is the first of its kind. One mom made a glow-in-the-dark Princess Mononoke terrarium, and the scene looks just as otherworldly as it did in the film.

The 14-inch-tall terrarium with LED lighting was built for Kodama, Japanese folklore tree spirits that were also featured in the 1997 Studio Ghibli movie. According to ancient myths, Kodama could use their supernatural powers either as a blessing or a curse but these little guys seem pretty happy about their new “home”. And why wouldn’t they be? The glass dome has a nice wooden base and a cherr… Jade Plant on top!

    I joined Bored Panda as an image editor back in 2014, during its early stages. It's been quite a journey since then! Over time, I transitioned through different roles until I eventually became the Content Lead. In this position, I now oversee the creation of the viral content published here on Bored Panda. While my primary focus lies in raising awareness about important social issues like gender and race equality, as well as mental health topics, I also enjoy sharing lighter content, such as memes, cat images and intriguing world curiosities. Outside of work, you'll likely find me engaged in one of five activities: planning a vacation, browsing thrift stores, experimenting in the kitchen, watching movies, or spending quality time with my two cats.

    Julija Neje thank you for writing about my art piece I made :D My grown daughter has always been a fan of anime and the artwork of Hayao Miyazaki (my grandson's middle name is Miyazaki btw!) I sculpt and do other forms of art but this was something I just got an idea to do as a way to tell my daughter how special she is. I want to thank everyone for their kind comments also.....it means a lot to an artist for others to enjoy their work!
