A room of four and a half mats, which is reproduced by interweaving a little “ideal” with the memory of Suzuki producer’s boyhood.
As a boy, Suzuki producer said that he didn’t throw away manga magazines, stored them all in his room, and read them when he had free time.
Feel like you’ve slipped back in time from 2022 to the 1950s.
From here, the journey to touch the secret of the birth of Studio Ghibli begins.

"What did producer Toshio Suzuki do?"

Most of Studio Ghibli’s works were born from casual conversations between Isao Takahata, Hayao Miyazaki and producer Suzuki.
And Suzuki producer has played many roles in order to deliver the created work to many people.
You can follow that trajectory.

No-Face is quietly reading in the middle of the condensed space, as if looking into the head of Mr. Suzuki, who has sent out many masterpieces.
This room has the motif of Mr. Suzuki’s hideout, a brick shop, and shows 8,800 books that shaped Mr. Suzuki’s past.
