Official Enchanted World

Step into the Maison Ghibli Pop-Up Store, an official temporary boutique celebrating 40 years of Studio Ghibli. Experience the poetic universe of Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata through over 300 exclusive products imported from Japan: collectible ceramic figurines, irresistible Totoro plush toys, music boxes inspired by Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke, and handcrafted artisan items like Shigaraki pottery and Noritake porcelain tableware.

Located at 37 Rue de Rivoli, this 120 m² space in the heart of the Marais district creates a magical escape with traditional Japanese decorations—Noren curtains, Nakayoshi cushions—and a special music section featuring official vinyl records and sheet music of Joe Hisaishi’s compositions for piano and violin from My Neighbor Totoro, Howl’s Moving Castle, and Porco Rosso. Model airplane kits inspired by Studio Ghibli films complete the offering for enthusiasts.

As Studio Ghibli’s exclusive European partner since 2013, Maison Ghibli (managed by SEMIC) guarantees the authenticity of these rare, often limited-edition pieces, inviting fans of all ages to collect or decorate, with delivery available across France for those who cannot visit in person.​

Artistic Context

Founded in 1985 by Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata, and Toshio Suzuki, Studio Ghibli revolutionized Japanese animation with timeless films celebrating nature, childhood, and fantasy—My Neighbor Totoro (1988), Spirited Away (2001, Academy Award for Best Animated Feature)—influencing a generation with their dreamlike and ecological aesthetic.

Maison Ghibli, the official European distributor, has hosted this annual Paris pop-up since 2013 to authentically bring these universes to fans, with 2025 focusing on craftsmanship (Shigaraki pottery, Noritake porcelain) and music (Joe Hisaishi), complementing events like the Takahata exhibition.

This limited-stock pop-up underscores Ghibli’s global influence, inviting a personal collection that extends the films’ magic into everyday life.
