Fascinating. Though I would like a film crew to do a feature-length documentary on this setup like they did following Miyazaki on his daily tools and rituals.

Started a starter pack for people who write funny parenting content (in any form). I am definitely missing lots of people so if you want to be added, just reply to this to let me know.
