Stash Your Rainy Day Fund In This Spirited Away No-Face Piggy Bank
Spirited Away is my favorite Studio Ghibli film. Okay, I’m probably lying because I feel my face heating up thinking that I am betraying Princess Mononoke and Totoro, but the fact remains that Spirited Away has a special place in my heart. And yours, too, in all likelihood. In fact, it is still the number one animated film in Japan, with $580 million in earnings.
And when we talk about Spirited Away, the first thing that comes to mind (my mind, at least) is No-Face.
How can it be otherwise?
A lonely spirit led astray by the greed of man (well, there was the magical bathhouse, of course)…he could have been more, given his nature of adopting feelings and characteristics of those around him, but man’s corruption ruined him. There is, of course, the redemption at the end, which gives you that warm, fuzzy feeling.
Now that I’ve reminisced (yup, I am watching Spirited Away tonight), here are the goods.
Japan Trend Shop is selling a Spirited Away No-Face Piggy Bank – in keeping with his character as a greedy monster.
In this case, though, it’s all good. Let him be as greedy as he wants. The more money he devours, the better for us. The only thing is that we need to shell out $66 first.
