The Art and Style of Storytelling in Japan - Day 4

A Story of Tokyo and Totoro
The group was off early this morning for a day trip to Tokyo to check out the Studio Ghibli Museum. It was a whirlwind day on the bullet train, zipping across the beautiful countryside into Tokyo! Here are a few thoughts from the students about their experiences at the museum.

"It was really cool to see how the frames were colorized in the animation process. I loved how playful the museum was and all of the tiny doors and details that were so much fun!" -Eva

"The museum was full of whimsical surprises like a door that you open that just has a mirror behind it! I also loved the quote hanging in the museum that said translates to 'let's be a child who doesn't know where to go.'" -Tina

"It was nice to see all of the characters that I loved so much from the movies when I was a kid. I liked seeing how they came to life." -Fred

"Going to Tokyo felt like being one of the characters in another world filled with all of the familiar characters from the movies that I love!" -Marcus
