Kyodo

A theme park in central Japan featuring characters and scenes from Studio Ghibli’s animation films such as My Neighbor Totoro and Spirited Away this week put on display a beloved car of director Hayao Miyazaki.
The French classic car, a Citroen 2CV, was bought by Miyazaki, 84, to take his child to nursery and is displayed in Ghibli’s Grand Warehouse, one of the five areas of the Ghibli Park in Nagakute, Aichi prefecture.
An original manga depicting how Miyazaki, co-founder of Studio Ghibli, fell in love with the car is exhibited near the vehicle.
A Citroen 2CV was also portrayed in Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro, the animation film in which Miyazaki debuted as a feature film director in 1979.
