This kodama is looking to see the world beyond its hometown trees with you<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Like a lot of the creatures seen in Princess Mononoke<\/strong>, the kodama<\/strong> don\u2019t get out of the forest very often. Instead, they spend pretty much the entirety of the Studio Ghibli anime movie hanging out up in the branches, among the tree roots, or along the stone pathways that serve as the backdrops for some of the most memorable scenes in anime history.<\/p>\n But if you\u2019ve ever wanted to show a kodama the wider world beyond its woodland home, there\u2019s one that\u2019s willing to tag along with you on your journeys<\/strong>.<\/p>\n That cute little guy there is the newest addition to the lineup at Ghibli specialty store Donguri Kyowakoku<\/strong>. But while this kodama\u2019s disarmingly innocent expression and chubbily cute physique match up with the spirits seen in the anime, this one has an important distinction: a chain strap that lets you use it as a keychain or bag strap accessory<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Another difference is that unlike the in-anime kodama, who, judging from the rattling sound they make, ostensibly have rigid bodies, the kodama strap is made from polyurethane foam, so it\u2019s invitingly soft and squeezy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n With a total length of 6 centimeters (2.4 inches), this Kodama might be a bit of a tight fit for carrying your keys in the front pocket of form-fitting pants, but should work fine as a keyholder to toss into a coat pocket or bag. It\u2019s also big enough to get noticed as an accessory strap without being obtrusively bulky, if you\u2019re using it for purely decorative purposes.<\/p>\n \u25bc There\u2019s also a \u201cStudio Ghibli\u201d marking on the back.<\/p>\n Priced at 990 yen (US$6.50), the Kodama Squeeze, as it\u2019s officially named, can be ordered through the Donguri Kyowakoku online shop here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Source: Donguri Kyowakoku<\/a><\/em> This kodama is looking to see the world beyond its hometown trees with you.
