Studio Ghibli Homeware Brand Launches Kiki’s Delivery Service Oil Lamp

A Cinematic Addition to Home Decor

A black cat stares intently at a small, antique-style lamp, mirroring the aesthetic found in the film Kiki’s Delivery Service. This scene captures the inspiration behind the latest product from Donguri Kyowakoku, the specialty retail chain for Studio Ghibli merchandise. The company announced a new decorative item, the “Mini Lamp-Mitsumeru Jiji,” which recreates an oil lamp featured in the home of Osono, the baker who houses the film’s protagonist.

The lamp is constructed from resin and ABS plastic, designed to mimic the appearance of antique porcelain. Despite its vintage aesthetic, the product functions as a modern electric light. The design includes a glass top section and a touch sensor, allowing users to toggle the light by tapping the base. To maintain the appearance of an authentic oil lamp, designers placed the primary power switch on the underside of the unit.

Availability and Specifications

The lamp measures 12.8 centimeters in height and 11.2 centimeters in width. It is part of the Donguri Closet sub-brand, which focuses on home décor and apparel characterized by a subtle, understated design style.

• Retail Price: 13,200 yen (approximately $83 USD).
• Release Date: October 31.
• Retail Locations: Available at select Donguri Kyowakoku stores in Ikebukuro, Skytree Town Solamachi, Nagoya, Osaka, Fukuoka, and Sapporo.
• Online Sales: The item will also be sold through the official Donguri Kyowakoku web store.

Why it matters: This product release highlights the continued commercial success of Studio Ghibli’s intellectual property through niche, high-quality home goods. For international fans and collectors, particularly in markets with growing interest in Japanese pop culture, the limited availability of these items at specific retail locations often drives secondary market demand and emphasizes the brand’s strategy of pairing nostalgia with functional household items.
