Cultural note from the author:

When you go to Japan, you will notice there are lots of mascots and characters. You can find many cute, funny and unusual things in shops. Japanese people utilize cute and funny mascots for promotional/marketing purposes. This book will show you some of the common characters such as Hello Kitty and some of the lesser-known ones such as an egg mascot who lives in a park near a popular hot spring area, Noto Peninsula.
