Hello everyone!
This is Takeda from the Comomg staff.
Have you all heard about "Amabie," which has been a hot topic lately?
"Amabie" is a yokai passed down in Japan, said to have made prophecies about bountiful harvests and epidemics.
You've probably been seeing it everywhere lately, haven't you? ♪
Amabie foretold the spread of a plague,
and said, "Show people a picture that captures my likeness,"
and that is said to be why the current boom began.
Word of this Amabie legend reached "Donguri Korokoro," and believe it or not!
In response to the current spread of infectious disease, it has transformed into "Amabie Donguri"‼😲
"Amabie Donguri" — here's a look at its charming form ♪
Amabie looks absolutely adorable in soft pastel colors!
Both the pink and the light blue are so cute ✨
Amabie Donguri comes as a set with a "ward off plague" charm tag and a mat, so it's adorable just displayed in your room as a good-luck charm!
Of course, just like the other Donguri Korokoro, it can roll smoothly down a slope,
so you can also enjoy playing with it together with your children ♪
Watching it go coton-coton down the slope is just so adorable —
simply watching it is soothing ♪
Should I choose the pink one, or the light blue one… it's hard to decide ☺
We've posted a video of the Amabie Donguri being made on YouTube,
so please do take a look 👍

And there's more…
This time, we've also prepared a "name tag" and a "pin badge"!
These two items can be worn,
so you can always carry them as a charm to ward off plague.
Both come in cute, simple designs, so they're recommended not only for children but for adults too ♪
Also, this item is made
using the offcuts left over from making our toys 🌲
so it's a very eco-friendly item too ♪
The "Donguri Name Tag" comes in
unpainted beech and walnut, plus colored pink and light blue
— four varieties in total to choose from.
Just like the Donguri Name Tag, it's lovely not only on bags or backpacks but also as a keychain for pouches or keys ✨
Personalized engraving is available for an extra fee,
and since a laser engraver burns the lettering directly into the wood,
there's no worry of the text fading or peeling like paint or print would.
You can keep using it looking beautiful for a long time ♪
The "Amabie Donguri Pin Badge" comes in two sizes, large and small.
You can choose from clear-coated beech and walnut, plus colored pink and light blue
— four varieties in total.
You can also choose from three types of fastener.
(From left: butterfly clutch, rotating pin, and clip — three types)
It's great as an accent color or a special touch for your outfit ♪
It's so cute and eye-catching that wearing it might just spark some Amabie conversations 😁
Well then, this time we introduced our new product, "Amabie Donguri" ♪
Of course it's perfect for your own home, but
it's also a great gift for someone special, as a charm to ward off plague ♪
May we all soon be able to return to an environment where everyone can live with peace of mind.
These are difficult times, but let's come together and get through them ‼
