I have to agree with this. We all need a lot of Totoros. A lot more than we're getting, anyway.
Just overheard a mom at the bookstore tell her little one, “You already have two Totoros. We don’t need another Totoro.”
I am resisting the urge to say that there’s no such thing as too many Totoros.

Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

These dark patches on the limestone are ancient animal (shrimp-like creatures, we think!) burrows, made when this was a muddy sea floor. It is believed that a storm washed the the animals from these burrows and filled them in with gravel or sand (in this case Crinoid segments).
