This Week in Tokyo – 27 December 2022

The featured image above shows Hello Kitty lording it over her minions, part of the main Christmas display as you enter Puroland. Perfect for a photo op.

Although Hello Kitty is Sanrio’s most popular and enduring character, their portfolio includes hundreds of others including my favourite, Osaru no Monkichi! As you can see, he’s a talented musician.

Back to the star of the show. Here she is in Christmas Tree bauble form.
