The littlest Totoro gives a lesson on a subtle point of Japanese vocabulary<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Honnori<\/strong> is one of those Japanese expressions that\u2019s hard to translate into a single word in English. It\u2019s close to \u201csubtle,\u201d but you can\u2019t use honnori<\/em> to describe, say, a subtle suggestion or a subtle storytelling device. \u201cSoft\u201d doesn\u2019t quite do it either, since honnori<\/em> wouldn\u2019t be used to talk about a soft pillow.<\/p>\n Instead, honnori<\/em> is used to talk about soft, subtle, and gentle sensations, impressions, and atmospheres, such as a tinge of color, a smidgen of flavor, or the light from this Totoro<\/strong> lamp.<\/p>\n Proving that a picture is worth quite a lot of words is the Small Totoro Honnori Lamp<\/strong>. Rather than the big gray Ghibli forest spirit, the muse here is the smallest of the Totoro trio, who\u2019s rendered in soft translucent silicone that won\u2019t necessarily light up your whole room, but will provide honnori<\/em>-level cozy illumination, with three brightness settings to select from.<\/p>\n Standing 20 centimeters (7.9 inches) tall<\/strong>, the little Totoro also has an indention in which to hold the artificial leaf that\u2019s bundled with the lamp<\/strong>. The leaf is removable (technically it comes already removed, and you insert it yourself), so you can swap in any other artificial flowers you might have if you want to switch things up seasonally.<\/p>\n Power comes from a battery that\u2019s good for 30 hours on a full charge<\/strong>, meaning you can easily use this as a honnori<\/em> night light. The USB charging cord plugs in near the Totoro\u2019s tail, but in a way that allows for it to continue standing while it\u2019s connected.<\/p>\n The Small Totoro Honnori Lamp is being offered by Studio Ghibli anime specialty shop Donguri Kyowakoku<\/strong> for 12,100 yen (US$82), which has recently restocked them at its online store here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Source, images: Donguri Kyowakoku<\/a><\/em> The littlest Totoro gives a lesson on a subtle point of Japanese vocabulary.
