Japan’s Ghibli Museum announces there will be a new Catbus for adults to ride in this summer

The latest news regarding renovations has revealed information about several exciting new exhibits which has us counting down the days to the July 16 re-opening.

It was a sad day when we learned that the Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, Tokyo, would be closing for two whole months in May and June for renovations.

But with every cloud comes a silver lining, and in this case that lining is gold and furry, because the latest news from the acclaimed anime house is that there’ll be a brand new Catbus for grownups to play about in!

Before its temporary closure on 6 May, one of the most popular displays in the museum was the Catbus, a large replica of the magical feline designed exclusively for children, who were able to climb inside, around, and on top of the furry one-metre-high beast.

Grownups could only stand and watch the kids having fun prior to the museum’s refit, but now adults can enjoy the experience of riding the Catbus too, with a new exhibit called “Ride the Catbus to the Ghibli Forest”.

Scheduled to appear from 16 July to May 2017, this tantalising poster advertising the new Catbus for adults has us wondering what lies in store for us when the museum re-opens this summer.

In addition to the new Catbus, the museum also plans to celebrate its 15th year with a major lineup of exhibitions from previous years, including Spirited Away, Ponyo, Castle in the Sky, Heidi, Girl of the Alps, The View From the Catbus, and even Goldilocks and the Three Bears. This celebration of animation aims to help visitors get inside the thoughts and minds of the creators behind large-scale animation projects, and with the new Catbus at the centre of the event, visitors will be able to get a unique overview of some of the animations world’s best masterpieces. And with interior displays receiving even more goods from the storage vaults of Studio Ghibli, the new opening looks to be a feast for the senses.

With acclaimed director Hayao Miyazaki personally overseeing renovations, we can expect the new facelift to be filled with Ghibli magic, all the way from the tops of the eaves down to the tiny dark corners where soot sprites are sure to be lurking. The opening is so highly anticipated that tickets for the months of July and August are available only through a lottery from the official Lawson ticket-selling website, with entries for July tickets being taken from 25–31 May, and entries for August taken from 25–30 June. To help international visitors with ticket purchases, Lawson will be unveiling an exclusive website for visitors from overseas which can be accessed from 10 June.

The whimsical Wearable Planter by Colleen Jordan allows you to carry a piece of nature with you wherever you go. The popular Etsy shop uses 3D printing technology to produce miniature vases that adorn lapels, necklaces, and even the side of your bike. They’re large enough to hold an air plant, small succluent, or clipping from a boquet of flowers—this makes it easy to switch out fresh greens on a daily basis and coordinate your outfit in a delightfully unexpected way.

Giant GPS doodles cyclist

This enthusiastic cyclist is a real-life Cycleangelo — using a GPS system as his canvas and brush. Stephen Lund would comfortably win the Draw de France title, as he has cycled 3,040 miles creating his intricate but giant masterpieces.

The works range from simple messages wishing people a happy birthday to intricate drawings of wildlife, cult characters and figureheads. Using the app Strava, Stephen’s creations require the artist to weave his way through the City of Victoria, Canada, along a series of preplanned routes. (Caters News)

Here’s an awesome video to have on hand if ever you’re feeling stressed an need a moment of zen. Digg compiled an extensive montage of things that are so exceptionally satisfying that watching them is like having an itch scratched. It’s called “The Most Satisfying Video in the World” and watching it is like having a hard-to-reach itch perfectly scratched.

“Have you ever seen something that makes your skin tingle and for some unknown reason provides you with a sense of unbridled peace and happiness? Gears working in perfect synchronization, a cake frosted with absolute precision, marbles rolling so smoothly it hurts. Something that is just…satisfying? Well here’s five solid minutes of that feeling.”

Watch this and feel yourself unwind:
