About the header, Kumamon

The bear featured in our blog's header is Kumamon, the mascot of Kumamoto Prefecture. He won the 2011 "yuru-kyara" contest, claiming the title of number 1 mascot in Japan for the year. Goods featuring Kumamon are very popular in Japan, and the mascot makes appearances at events and in television shows. You can see some of the Kumamon-themed goods here.

I fully intend to create a small Kumamon collection during my time in Kumamoto.
