Fumofumo san

I still remembered my first encounter with a fumofumo san. It was inside a toy store in Ueno, Tokyo. A mugugu hung lazily over a wooden rod, staring at me as if he wants to know who I am. Ever since, I was captivated by this enchanted stuffed animal. Are you a fan of fumofumo san too? I'd love to hear all about it! Please feel free to leave me a message!

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!
