Published

SoraNews24 reports that Kyoto’s Zen and Ghibli exhibition is offering special goshuin papers featuring Totoro and other crossover art for Nanzen-ji, Shokoku-ji and Myoshin-ji. The museum show runs October 3 to December 6, with the papers tied to JR Central EX travel packages.

What the crossover is

The exhibition pairs Studio Ghibli imagery with Zen themes, centering heavily on The Boy and the Heron. Limited goshuin papers add Ghibli artwork to the stamped certificates visitors can receive at three participating Kyoto temples.

How to get them

The special papers come through eligible JR Central EX travel packages linked to the museum ticket. Temple admission and the individual goshuin stamping fees are separate, so a standard museum ticket alone is not enough.

The flip side

The package is travel-and-admission merchandise, not a new Studio Ghibli film or permanent temple program. The exhibition runs October 3 through December 6; availability and package pricing can change or sell out.

Update note: Original source-read briefing adds specific context and evidentiary limits beyond the short feed summary.
