Japanese HOTARU NO HAKA Full Candy TIN sealed fresh Grave of the Fireflies movie

Product Information

But as delicious as things such as Laputa egg toast and Ponyo ham ramen might look, there’s arguably no Ghibli food with more thematic and plot significance than Grave of the Fireflies’ candy drops. The film, directed by Isao Takahata, follows the tragic story of Seita and his younger sister Setsuko, who must learn to survive the harsh realities of war after their house is destroyed in a firebombing raid. If you don’t see a personalisation section, you can always message the seller with your request too. The product saw a resurgence in popularity decades later after the canned candy appeared in the acclaimed 1988 anime “Grave of the Fireflies. The container comes as shown, and is really cute, but so sad seeing Setsuko :( Anyways, it's great, and I would recommend it!
