Hayao Miyazaki Movie Posters

We rented a home in Eugene, Oregon this past weekend to get everyone together for my son’s birthday. The above was the scene above one of the beds in the home. The other rooms were full of movie and comic posters, memorabilia, and other cool stuff. My son walked through the place and after a bit asked, “Is this xxxx xxxxxx’s house?!?” We didn’t know who that was, but he was correct. Unbeknownst to us when we booked the place, we were staying in the home of a famous comic book artist.
