When you visit Japan, you will notice many mascots and characters everywhere. Shops, towns, and public places often use cute and unusual mascots for promotion and marketing.

This book introduces well-known characters such as Hello Kitty, as well as lesser-known local mascots, including an egg character said to live in a park near a hot spring area in the Noto Peninsula.
