MariMokkori

I was talking some random pics on my desk and this particular
pic came out pretty cool, so I decided to post it here.
This character is called "Marimokkori" and it was in the souvenir
shop everywhere I went. The Marimokkori originated in
Hokkaido, where "Marimo" is somewhat famous there.
Somebody made this marimo into a character and thus became
the Marimokkori.

This Marimokkori character is the "Kyoto version" Limited Edition.
Of course I bought it at the Kyoto train station.
In front is the life-size "Edamame" toy. If you press it like eating
the real thing, an edamame comes out and sucks back in when
you release it. It's one of those very simple, but super cool
JDM toys !!
