Apart from the charming photo opportunities, visitors can also participate in a mall-wide stamp rally.
The exhibit celebrates the launch of UNIQLO Singapore’s collaboration with Studio Ghibli on an exclusive collection.
UNIQLO Singapore launched the exhibit on Thursday (17 Aug) at the Bugis+ atrium.
There, visitors can enjoy the life-sized inflatables of the iconic Totoro and the Cat Bus from the 1988 film, ‘My Neighbour Totoro’.

Besides these life-sized characters, the exhibit also features detailed installations of popular scenes from the studio’s films.
They include stills from ‘Ponyo’ (2008), ‘Whisper of the Heart’ (1995), and ‘Howl’s Moving Castle’ (2004).
