🌈 Discover colors, Body Parts and Japanese Characters

Take students on a colorful visual journey through some of the mascots and characters found around Japan.

Learners observe each character and read simple Japanese descriptions of its body parts and colors. Therefore, familiar visual concepts such as eyes, ears, hands, feet, red, blue, white, and other colors become meaningful reading vocabulary rather than isolated words.

At the same time, the characters introduce students to a distinctive aspect of contemporary Japanese culture. The author’s note explains that cute, funny, and unusual mascots are commonly seen in Japan and are often used for promotional and marketing purposes.
