Grandparents Build Life-Size Totoro Bus Stop for Their Grandkids in Japan
In the small town of Takaharu in Japan, two grandparents in their 70s made a dream come true for their grandkids.
They built a life-size Totoro sculpture with a bus stop just like in the movie My Neighbor Totoro. This sweet surprise brings the magic of Studio Ghibli to life. Here it is on Google Maps!
How They Built Totoro
The grandparents worked hard to create this amazing Totoro. First, they built a barrel-shaped frame. Then, they used plastering techniques they’ve practiced for years. They carefully added concrete to make Totoro’s big belly, cute whiskers, and expressive eyes. To make sure Totoro looked round and perfect, they used bricks inside the frame before finishing it with more concrete. Finally, they painted it and set it up on a nice brick-and-gravel path with the famous bus stop sign from the movie.
A Fun Place to Visit
This Totoro bus stop has become super popular. Fans from all over come to Takaharu to see it. Visitors love to take pictures with Totoro, and the grandparents even provide a red umbrella just like in the movie for photos.
A Special Tribute to Studio Ghibli
This Totoro isn’t just a gift for the family—it’s also a way to celebrate the magic of Studio Ghibli movies. The sculpture has turned into a local landmark, spreading joy and showing how creativity and love can bring people together.

Aww. I first thought this was a credit card reader.
Anyways, I "appreciate" how the card reader traffic light is designed against "illegal" immigrants, or the "typewriter bench" against homeless. Hostile architecture as it's best.
Maybe I'm missing something. But shouldn't cars that see someone that is still walking just NOT run them over, just wait until the person has finished crossing?
Or maybe we got longer time for crossing here in Sweden... I've never seen anyone not make it. So I don't understand what problem is being solved here. Just seems like one more thing to do for the people who already have a hard time.
1,000 Melting Ice Sculptures in Berlin: streetartutopia.com/2025/01/16… - In Berlin’s Gendarmenmarkt square, by Brazilian artist Nele Azevedo for WWF Germany. - When the ice sculptures disappeared, they left a lasting memory for everyone who saw them. The melting showed how quickly we are losing time to fix climate change. It’s not just the ice that’s going away; it’s our chance to act. - Updated this blog post from 2011! Lots of (AI written) missinformation about it on social media.
In Berlin’s Gendarmenmarkt square, Brazilian artist Nele Azevedo created a powerful art display to talk about climate change. She placed 1,000 small ice sculptures on the steps of the square, each shaped like a person.
Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing our planet, and artists are using graffiti and street art as a powerful means to address this global crisis.

The Legend of Giants: An Immortal Artwork by Natalia Rak
In the heart of Białystok, Poland, a legendary tale has been elegantly translated into a vivid mural by the talented artist Natalia Rak. Painted back in 2013 for the Folk on the Street festival, the mural has become a lasting symbol of this vibrant city.
Natalia Rak: “When I started drawing a sketch I had to consider few elements of the area, for example there are windows and growing tree which we can’t cut. The organizers gave me texts about polish legends from that region. I especially liked legends about giants. First they destroy world around them but later they start to copy human behavior and started taking care of the nature. I hit on an idea how including the tree. I think this mural is good start to take up green areas development. Cities should have as many trees as possible. When I started I had CMYK in acrylics and more that 100 cans. I always use acrylic paints on background and then I make detail using spray cans. The sketch took me 4 hours. I worked ten hours per day. After seven days this mural was finished. I had rain each day of work but I was very optimistic and full of hope.”

Art has come a long way from being confined to galleries and museums. Today, it lives on our streets, in our neighborhoods, and even on our homes. To imagine a future where this is the norm inspires hope for a more colorful, expressive world.
You know the new tree painting we did on the garage last week… Until around the year 2050, people generally didn’t have paintings on houses!
– What? Were they gray?
Well, yes, many were. Often they would paint houses in just one color, like blue or yellow, but very rarely more than one or two colors and almost never with pictures. Most apartment buildings and government offices were gray. Sometimes artists would paint tunnels, gray municipal buildings, and so on, but the pictures were washed away! By the government!
– …Was art forbidden? No, but it had to be in special buildings only. Some people thought houses shouldn’t be painted on, except in one pale color all over.
– Wow… How dull.
Yes, my son. Now let’s put on our jackets and go pick some fruit.”

What do you think of this years street art? Do you have a favorite?
yes. Your followers will not need to re-follow if you move the account. I'm not sure if you can merge a remote (mastodon.online) account into an already existing local (streetartutopia.com) one, but if yes, that should have the same benefit.
@szakib Ok! My main goal of merge is that comments in the Fediverse appear in the blog posts comments. What confuse me is that it seems to be harder to interact with people (like this) or post photos and comments only in the Fediverse not on the blog.
I only do Mastodon, but I follow at least two people here who post both to their blog (which is visible on Mastodon as well), and straight to Mastodon (those are only there) and it seems to work well.
@szakib Yes! That is huge for the interaction on the blog. I can have +10000 visitors on a blog post and 0 comments. People are much more likely to comment on what is in the blog here or on other social media.
