Kure City’s mascot, Kureshi, is a section of water from the Seto Inland Sea with the kanji for “Kure” on its chest.

I want pants and shoes like that!

Makes sense, considering the nautical history of the city- a happy Yamato battleship would be problematic.

Wowee! There's so many different textures and materials on this one! Snazzy!

Westerners should adopt this mascot stuff. Can't wait for the mascot for Detroit to just be the word "Detroit" on a big plush rectangle with legs and googly eyes

I can't decide if it's better or worse before you notice those eyes.

Isn’t that the kanji for give?
