This time round, I thought I will again talk about an extremely interesting (but not so useful) contraption. For fans of Studio Ghibi, this would come familiar. Yes, this is Kaonoshi, also known as No Face, your very lovable spirit from Hayao Miyazaki's 2001 animated feature "Spirited Away". Recently, Studio Ghibi released a coin bank modeled on this very character.
Essentially it is a very expansive piggy bank (sell for 4800 Japanese Yen or around 60 Canadian dollars). What make it cost so much you asked? Well, you see...When you place coins on the saucer it is holding, Kaonashi will make an "ah" sound and lift the saucer to throw the coin down the depths of its belly. Afterwards, it will politely give out a large burp to tell you its movement is completed.
For those who are interested, It is set to sale in the Donguri Republic Shop, the official retailer for Ghibi merchandises. If you lived too far away from one physically, you can also get it online from the franchise's website !
