TOKYO — A Japanese city is launching a crowdfunding campaign to help preserve a special spot of woodland: the forest that inspired the animator of beloved movie "My Neighbour Totoro."
"The area is one of the places that director [Hayao] Miyazaki developed ideas for Totoro after walking there," the official said, adding that the plan aims to turn the forest into a nature reserve. The forest that inspired his home is about 30 kilometers northwest of Tokyo and has some 7,000 oak trees.
An initial 1,000 sets will be available, targeting donors inside Japan, though additional rounds could be organized if there is interest, the official said.
