If you don\u2019t have anything specific in mind, you can find items by looking through their collections, by either clicking on the big scrolling images on the top portion of the site or on the smaller images of their special collections towards the middle.

<\/center>Other ways we recommend searching for items is by using the search bar. You need to input the Japanese name<\/strong> of the product or movie you want to find merch for.

In this example, we\u2019ll be using this beautiful Spirited Away wallet.<\/p>\n
The product page will show you the price of the product, which automatically includes the 10% Japanese consumption tax. You can copy-and-paste the rest of the info onto Google Translate to give you an idea of the item details.<\/p>\n
You might notice the colored icons on top of the product image. The most important one to take note of is \u4e88\u7d04\u5546\u54c1<\/strong>. This means you\u2019re pre-ordering the item, and the item details tells you when they\u2019re releasing the item (\u304a\u5c4a\u3051\u4e88\u5b9a<\/strong>). For this wallet, it\u2019s being released in mid-November 2021.<\/p>\nFor clothing, Donguri Sora has a handy size chart with measurements written in centimeters. Even if you can\u2019t read Japanese, the arrows show you which portion is being measured. For example, \u7740\u4e08<\/strong> is measuring the length of the shirt from the collar to the hem.<\/p>\n![\"Studio](\"https:\/\/blog.fromjapan.co.jp\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/How-to-buy-Studio-Ghibli-Size-Guide.png\")
