Studio Ghibli images go viral for perfectly depicting the life of a housewife

Hilarious captions with viral hashtag help everyone “Learn about housewife work through Ghibli”.

It hasn’t even been a week since the creative geniuses at Studio Ghibli released 400 images from eight of their movies for the public to download for free, yet they’ve already inspired people to get creative, with captions under the #ジブリで学ぶ主婦業 (“Ghibli de manabu shufugyou”/ “Learn about housewife work through Ghibli”) hashtag currently going viral online.

And it’s not just housewives but parents everywhere who are relating to the images under the hashtag, especially when they look like these:

▼ “I told you to clean up your Lego!! How many times do I have to tell you it hurts when I step on it!”

In Japan, where traditional stereotypes still persist, a lot of women become housewives, and there’s a lot of pressure on them to make sure everything is perfect for the family.

Food plays a big part in the life of a mother, especially when it comes to finding a moment when you can get time to eat something yourself.
