Ordinarily fluffy and fuzzy, Totoro goes smooth and sleek in these adorable pouches<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The Japanese word gamaguchi<\/strong> translates literally into English as \u201cfrog mouth,\u201d but the language didn\u2019t really need a single, specialized vocabulary word for discussing that part of amphibian anatomy. You\u2019re much more likely to hear gamaguchi being used in its fashion-related figurative meaning, where it describes a pouch with a metal clasp that stretches from one end to the other and lets you open it up wide<\/strong>, resembling a frog with an open mouth.<\/p>\n Because of this, the only time you\u2019ll encounter gamaguchi pouches that actually look like frogs are if the designer has a thing for puns. For example, today we\u2019re taking a look at some gamaguchi pouches that are shaped like Totoro!<\/strong><\/p>\n Recently restocked at Studio Ghibli<\/strong> specialty store Donguri Kyowakoku<\/strong>, these Totoro gamaguchi pouches forgo the fuzzy fur of a plushie and are instead made of smooth, sleek silicone. That makes them sturdy without being bulky, and in a clever design idea, Totoro\u2019s ears are actually the prongs you push on to open up the clasp<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Two designs are available, the gray and blue Totoro<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Within the My Neighbor Totoro<\/em> anime movie the gray version is the \u201cbig\u201d Totoro and the blue one the \u201cmedium,\u201d with quite a big height difference, but the two pouches are identically sized, with matching proportions and a \u201cheight\u201d of 9.5 centimeters (3.7 inches).<\/p>\n Donguri Kyowakoku recommends them for holding accessories, keys, and coins<\/strong>, and they look like they\u2019d also be handy for keeping candies in, or acorns, if you\u2019re out for a stroll in some Ghibli-esque woodlands.<\/p>\n The pouches are priced at 2,970 yen (US$19.50) each, and can be ordered through the Donguri Kyowakoku online store here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Source: Donguri Kyowakoku<\/a><\/em> Ordinarily fluffy and fuzzy, Totoro goes smooth and sleek in these adorable pouches.
