I am looking for where I can buy the plush owl from the movie Lost in
Translation. Bill Murrary has it in the hospital scene. I live in the
United States, while the movie takes place in Tokyo (so the animal
most likely originates from there). So I need to be able to buy it
from here. Mail/Internet/Phone order is fine, I just need to find this
owl!

Here is a link to a photo of the owl (Bill Murray is holding it):

From an article at the Bostonphoenix.com:

At Black Ink, you'll find enchantingly strange Japanese stuffed
animals similar to the gigantic-eyed toy owl Murray's Bob gave to
Johansson's Charlotte.

Greetings again, Mildish:

According to the Internet Movie Database, all location shoots for the
movie "Lost in Translation" were in Japan so you may have to look in
that country for this charming owl.
