Posted by Draco on 12.15.2018, 09:39 AM: What is the item in Totoro? On the night when Totoro helps the planted acorns to grow, in this scene when the two girls are sleeping on the porch under the mosquito netting, the father carries a "pot" from outside back into the house as he bids the girls goodnight. What is this "pot"?

Posted by arren18 on 12.16.2018, 06:37 PM: Some kind of incense burner makes sense to me too. I think I've seen that sort of shape before.

Posted by Saddletank on 12.17.2018, 08:26 AM: Possibly the father is burning citronella or some other insect-repelling incense in it, when it would usually be used for ordinary fragrant incense inside the home.

Posted by schizboot on 01.15.2019, 09:23 AM: Yup, incense burner to ward off mosquitos! I had to look this up (even though I've seen them everywhere in Japan in the summer), but they're called かとりぶた (katori buta) -- buta means pig in Japanese, so that explains the little pig shape |
