Benelic My Neighbor Totoro Dondoko Dance Large Japanese Teacup - Official Studio Ghibli Merchandise,12 ounces

I really appreciate the large size as I’m a big tea drinker.

Its cute and lovely made, the only negativity is, that the cup gets hot, if you put very hot tea in it. Otherwise its finely made, I think. I bought it originally in Japan in the Ghibli shop as a gift, but later I decided I would like to have one also for myself.

This is great, it’s the perfect size for how much I like to drink of any beverage and doubles as more than enough space for a cup of soup. I don’t recommend microwaving it, however when you pour a hot liquid directly into the cup becomes exactly the right temperature to warm your hands if they are cold or feel cozy when it is warm out. I have sensitive skin and it doesn’t get too hot via this method. I suspect this is the design intention as when I was in Japan during a winter/spring I had a tea at a place out of a cup like this and the effect was similar. I suspect this is a traditional cup for exactly this purpose too! Its really quite perfect, a bit shinier than pictured, warm when a hot liquid is in it (or very cool and sweats if an ice cold liquid is in it), keeps your hands warm when they are cold. Overall amazing cozy feel and it’s adorable yet stylish as well. Loving my Totoro cup!

Surprisingly heavy and feels very sturdy, holds heat, and is perfect for winter cozy nights

I love this cup. Perfect size and decorated with the adorable Totoro. I will use daily for tea and other drinks.

Super cute! Well made. What more can I say?

It is adorable and I bought it because I love totoro! In the description it says it is a large mug that hold 16oz. It is not a mug as it does not have a handle so I wouldn’t serve hot beverages in it. It also doesn’t hold 16oz of water. More like 10-11oz. So it is cute but I won’t be using it for hot tea as I hoped to.

The biggest of 3 different mugs that I ordered, and my favorite images as well. THE DANCE!

I saw this cup at the academy museum of arts gift shop in Los Angeles during the Miyazaki exhibit. Absolutely fell in love with it but bought the same one on Amazon due to it being 8$ cheaper. When the cup came. I was devastated. The porcelain is NOTICEABLY thinner, the packaging wasnt even the same as the pictures on Amazon which matched the one at the gift shop. If I knew I would have gotten such a cheaper version I would gladly have paid the extra 8$. Lesson learned for me.

The Totoro Dondoko Dance Large Japanese Teacup is made of thick porcelain, so heat transfer from hot tea is unlikely to burn the hand. It really is porcelain, as can be seen in its translucency, and also by its unglazed bottom (which confirms that it is not made of translucent glass). The artwork is beautifully done, and all of the figures are incised into the surface. I also like the larger-than-usual capacity (350 mL or 1.5 cups or 12 fluid ounces).
