But this summer, the 59-year-old undertook a different sort of construction. He decided to make Totoro for his grandchildren who just moved from Vancouver, Canada to live with him in Mihama, Mie Prefecture, Japan. 雨の日や夜5時半頃を過ぎると、毎晩ブルーシートを掛けます。 濡らしてはいけないし動かす事も出来ない、こんなでっかい人形を作ってしまうと、 その後の毎日の管理の方がたいへんです。最近それに気付きました（笑） You can't see totoro after 5o'clock. Like the young protagonists in Studio Ghibli's 1988 film Totoro, Hidebochi's granddaughters moved far from the world they knew to a new home in the country. 6-year-old Ringo and 3-year-old Mei, who shares a name with one of the stars of Hayao Miyazaki's classic anime, were born in Canada. Hidebochi started his project to ease the sisters' transition and help prevent them from saying, "I want to go back to Vancouver!" Hidebochi decided to recreate the rain scene from Totoro. In the film, Totoro receives an umbrella from Satsuki as they wait at a bus stop. Hidebochi's life-size Totoro stands three meters (about 10 feet) tall. The crafty grandfather constructed his Totoro from materials like water pipes, wood, and rugs. A concrete block keeps Totoro secure in front of the Teuchi Udon Ōishi-ya shop. 晴れてても午後に雨の心配があれば朝からシートをかけて養生する時もあります。 You can't see totoro on a cloudy & rainy day. 　 People who want to meet Totoro can visit him on sunny days until 5:30 p.m. On rainy days, he hides under a plastic tarp because Satsuki's umbrella never was big enough. Anyone is invited to take their picture with Totoro. Hidebochi placed Totoro so that Ringo and Mei can always see him from their room above the udon shop. At the end of Hidebochi's video showing the making of his creation, the girls recreate the scene from the film. If their smiling faces are any indication, they've grown happy in their new home just like Satsuki and Mei.
