Studio Ghibli Grave of the Fireflies Fruit Candy Tin
Grave of the Fireflies is one of the most heartbreaking and underrated films in the Studio Ghibli canon. The semi-autobiographical drama follows orphaned siblings, fourteen-year-old Seita and his little sister Setsuko navigating a poverty-stricken, war-torn Japan during the final months of World War II.
One of the few bits of sweetness in their lives is the tin of fruit candies Setsuko carries wherever they go. A bittersweet gift for Grave of the Fireflies fans, this cherry red tin features the same deceptively cheerful fruit design as seen in the film.

Cat lovers and Studio Ghibli fans rejoice! This officially licensed super fuzzy, soft, and irresistibly giftable Cat Bus plush is 11” and accurate to how he appears in the film. He even has whiskers that stick out!
