Totoro Forest Project

The Totoro Forest Project is a fantastic fundraising Art Exhibition/Auction that is being organized for the Non-Profit "Totoro No Furusato National Fund", a fund established by Hayao Miyazaki. The Exhibition/Auction will feature over 200 original art pieces from artists in the fields of animation, comics, illustration, and fine art.

The Totoro Forest Fund was started in 1990 as a way to preserve the Sayama Forrest. This gorgeous area is just outside of Tokyo and is said to have been the inspiration for "My Neighbor Totoro". The Totoro Forest Project is a fundraiser to benefit the foundation.
