Hayao Miyazaki's son, Japanese filmmaker Goro Miyazaki, recently modeled merchandise coming soon to Ghibli Park.

In the first picture, Goro can be seen wearing a yukata kimono.
Originally worn as bathrobes, yukata are typically made from cotton instead of materials such as silk.

In Studio Ghibli's “Spirited Away,” the Ushi-oni wear similar yukata featuring the Kanji character for abura. The character is meant to signify the bathhouse that the spirits visit to restore themselves. The yukata that Giro models features the face of the character No-Face from “Spirited Away,” along with Kanji characters.
A Twitter user merged the photo of Goro with a scene from the award-winning film on Monday.
