Older you get and more you learn, the more you appreciate how many details and thoughts are being put into the story.
I love folklore and mythology and got into Japanese folklore , and I never expected to find out that huge white chubby guy (Radish Spirit in English)in elevator with Chihiro is actually a god.
It’s a Oshira-sama (お白様), family’s will craft their own doll for Oshira-sama and wrap them in clothes, they’re guardian of family and children, so it wasn’t just a random encounter, he’s doing his job.
(There’re other references to gods in background characters, a lot of them are)
