Laputa: Castle in the Sky Robot Bookend

Studio Ghibli anime bookshelf accessory

Unlike other characters created by by Hayao Miyazaki, it is neither human nor supernatural. Still, the robot soldier from Laputa: Castle in the Sky, his 1986 film with Studio Ghibli, is certainly one of his most recognizable characters and one that fans love, especially because of its role as a guardian of Laputa's plants and animals. Now, that same robot can become the guardian of your books, giving your bookshelf a distinctly Miyazaki touch, with the Laputa: Castle in the Sky Robot Bookend!

The Laputa: Castle in the Sky Robot Bookend is made up of three pieces (the robot's head and its two hands) and it can work with almost any set of books. The head is 70 x 180 mm (2.8 x 7") and gets stuck behind the books backs and the two hands are regular left and right bookends, 130 x 125 x 180 mm (5.1 x 4.9 x 7") each. With books in place, the robot looks like it's hugging the tomes and offering them to you. A heart-warming scene that could almost have come from the film itself!
