Amabie Donguri

Currently out of stock. The next production run is undecided.

A special "Amabie" version of Donguri Korokoro, the wooden acorn toy that walks cutely down a slope — made as a charm against illness.

– Features –

• Amabie is a yokai spirit from Japanese folklore said to foretell epidemics; showing others its likeness was believed to ward off illness. With a wish to overcome the pandemic, we gave Donguri Korokoro the form of Amabie.
• As it rolls down the slope, the little wooden ball inside knocks against the wood and makes a pleasant "koto-koto" sound, and its slow, swaying descent is easy for little ones whose eyesight is still developing to follow with their eyes.
• Children's hand movements are still less developed than adults', and their hands can be slippery with sweat — but the acorn cap's ridge is shaped to be easy for small hands to grip firmly.
• The paint and glue are certified safe under Japanese and international safety standards, safe even if licked (see the FAQ below for details).

Tilt the base that Amabie Donguri sits on just slightly to make a slope, and it will sway from side to side as it charmingly makes its way down. It comes in two colors, pink and light blue, and includes a wooden tag reading "ward off illness" along with a mat, so you can display it and enjoy it the moment it arrives. This colorful Amabie brightens up a room whether you set it rolling down a slope or simply display it.

It also makes a unique gift for a get-well wish or a seasonal occasion — a charming way to express hope for better days ahead. We offer a name engraving service and gift wrapping.

– FAQ –

Q. What age is it suitable for?
A. The recommended age is 5 years and up. Since it includes small parts such as the wooden tag and mat, we've set the age higher than usual to reduce the risk of choking.

Q. What kind of sound does it make?
A. As it rolls down the slope, the wooden ball inside knocks against the wood, making a pleasant "koto-koto" sound.

Q. Are the paint and glue safe?
A. The paint used (Osmo Color Garden Color) is safe even if licked, and once dry, the coating meets the German industrial standard DIN53160 (saliva/sweat resistance test), the EU toy safety standard EN71-3, and Japan's Food Sanitation Act (toy standard). The glue used, Titebond III, is also highly safety-tested (FDA-approved in the US, ASTM D4236 compliant).
