Mogugu 5th Year Anniversary - もぐぐ特典

Today, April 8th, is the 5th year anniversary of my acquiring of Mogugu, my first and favorite fumofumo san. Five years ago, I went to Japan with my boyfriend to see cherry blossom. At my last destination, Tokyo, we stumbled cross a toy store at Ueno, and that's where I met Mogugu. However, I didn't take Mogugu with me, which was clearly a mistake; I simply could not forget the expression on his face. For the rest of the trip, I kept my eyes peeled, and finally, on the second last day my stay in Tokyo, I found Mogugu again. This is not the end of the story.... this is only the beginning.

The Elegant Fumofumo - BiBi (びび）

The more I look at this fumofumo, the more I felt the essence of Japanese in it. First, it actually reminds me of Doremon, but more importantly, the red patch on his head simply resembles the sun on a Japanese flag. Don't you think that the proportion of red on his head to the white on his stomach closely resemble the ratio of red and white on a Japanese flag? Maybe I am just thinking too much....

Bibi is the newly created fumofumo from Shinada this Spring. Not only does the vivid blue colour reminds me of a beautiful sky in Spring, the coming of the barn swallow, a migratory bird, also indicates that Spring has officially came!
