Hiyonoyama & Scrolls of Frolicking Animals Tote Bag

Sumo and medieval Japanese art shopping bag

The measure of how popular are yuru-chara mascots in Japan is how many of them are used by organizations you wouldn't believe. The Metropolitan Police Department, Self-Defense Forces, and, yes, the Nihon Sumo Kyokai (Japan Sumo Association), the organization that governs Japan’s traditional wrestling sport, all have mascots. Believe it or not, sumo doesn't have just one but a whole universe of such characters with the main mascot being a yellow chick with the wrestling name Hiyonoyama, who appears in all kinds of official merchandise for the organization. Merchandise like the Hiyonoyama & Scrolls of Frolicking Animals Tote Bag!

At about 37 x 33 cm (14.6 x 13") and with a 26 cm (10.2") handles, the Hiyonoyama & Scrolls of Frolicking Animals Tote Bag is a very practical everyday bag for accompanying you on your trips to the supermarket and your urban explorations. But what makes it really special is, of course, the design: a combination of various images of Hiyonoyama and the referee Shikimori Mamesuke (also a yellow chick), integrated into the images or rabbits and frogs from the Choju-jinbutsu-giga (Scrolls of Frolicking Animals), a set of four picture scrolls that is known as the oldest manga in Japan.
