“You can only see the spirits when they want you to!” Step gently into the forest and offer a proper greeting to the spirits who watch over us. This tender Totoro-inspired illustration honors the guardians who protected Mei, welcomed her with warmth, and continue to watch over those who wander with kindness and curiosity. It’s a soft, magical tribute to friendship, wonder, and the quiet enchantment of Studio Ghibli’s world.
Hand printed by Natalie Andrewson in her Los Angeles studio, this three-color Risograph print uses blue, yellow, and fluorescent orange inks to create a warm, glowing palette that feels straight out of the forest at dusk.

About the Risograph Process
Risograph printing layers each ink color individually, so tiny shifts in registration or occasional roller marks may naturally occur. These subtle imperfections make every piece unique—a signature of the handmade Riso process and part of its charm.
