New hug pillow range lets you sleep with Hello Kitty
Snuggle up to these Sanrio characters.
Body pillows are must-have companions for bedtime or downtime, especially when you need to relax or get a good night's sleep. Of course, cuteness is an important factor when it comes to these bedtime companions, but comfort is a top priority too, and for these discerning customers, a series called 'Hug Mocchi' fits the bill.
The Hug Mocchi body pillow boasts a design that lets you find a comfortable position no matter how you sleep, with a unique stuffing method that allows you to adjust the filling to your liking. Over 200,000 of these pillows have been sold, and sales look ready to skyrocket yet again, with a new tie-up range featuring some of our favourite Sanrio characters.
For this collaboration, Hello Kitty, Kuromi, and Cinnamoroll are joining in, and each pillow is carefully designed to reflect the unique traits of each character.
▼ This is a dream collaboration.
These body pillows are so cute and adorable that they'll definitely provide you with a blissful night's sleep.
▼ The Hello Kitty Hug Mocchi features the character's distinctive red bow.
▼ The Kuromi Hug Mocchi comes complete with her trademark black hood and pink skull.
▼ The Cinnamoroll Hug Mocchi has a pair of irresistibly cute floppy ears.
The fabric on these pillows is so smooth and soft you'll want to rub your cheeks against it all night long, and their spongy, mochi-like feel lets you experience what it might really be like to sleep with Kitty, Kuromi, or Cinnamoroll.
The cover can be removed and washed in your home washing machine so you can easily keep it clean, and if you act fast, you can get a discount, as it's being offered on crowdfunding site Makuake with a 30-percent discount, so you can purchase it for 20,860 yen (US$143.90). Otherwise, it'll retail for 29,800 yen for the pillow itself, and 9,800 yen for a replacement cover.
With the irresistible charm of Sanrio characters and the ultimate in hugging comfort combined in one, the Hug Mocchi Sanrio Characters Collaboration will have you dozing off in no time!

Studio Ghibli releases new Totoro tenugui anime art for the rainy season in Japan
Traditional techniques bring centuries of craftsmanship to Totoro. Japan is a country of many seasons, and the one that's about to begin is rainy. Known as 'tsuyu' in Japanese, the rainy season generally hits the mainland around mid-June, which is just enough time for us to put up a seasonal decoration with Totoro as the star. Sold by the Studio Ghibli specialty retail chain Donguri Kyowakoku, this new product is both decorative and functional as it's a beautifully dyed tenugui. These traditional cotton cloths can be used as hand towels, handkerchiefs, head coverings, and wraps for lunch boxes or gifts, but a lot of the time they're used as wall decorations, due to their beautiful designs. ▼ This tenugui has a particularly beautiful design called 'Rain Stripe' The rainy scene, depicting Totoro in his forest home, has been stenciled onto the fabric using a traditional hand-dyed method called 'chusen'. The raindrops blend harmoniously with the background stripes, which are slightly wavy as opposed to being straight, in a style known as 'yoroke-jima' ('wobbly stripes'). Because the fabric is dyed using traditional techniques the colours may bleed slightly, especially at the beginning of use. The more you use it, the more character it will develop over time so you can enjoy the unique colours that only an authentic hand-dyed tenugui can offer. ▼ As there are no seams, the cloth dries quickly and has a stronger resistance to dirt and dust. The cute frog in the corner of the tenugui completes the scene, with blue hues designed to keep you cool as the humidity rises. With each tenugui hand-dyed individually by a craftsman, these are like miniature works of art, and they can be purchased for 3,740 yen (US$26), at Donguri Kyowakoku stores and online, while stocks last.

Donuts beyond mochi mochi: Mister Donut's new donuts are so soft they're almost drinkable
Japan's favorite donut chain rolls out Micchurin donuts to celebrate its 55th anniversary. 'Mochi mochi' is a Japanese word that can be kind of difficult to explain, but is easy to feel. It refers to a consistency that's soft and chewy, but also has a certain satisfying weightiness to it. As you can probably guess, mochi mochi is often used to describe the texture of mochi rice cakes and dumplings, but it's also an apt description for the style of donuts made by Japan's favorite donut chain, Mister Donut. With Mister Donut celebrating its 55th anniversary this year, though, they wanted to do something special, and they've created some new treats that they promise 'go beyond mochi mochi.' Called Micchurin, these new baked goods took two years to develop, and Mister Donut says the result is a texture unlike anything else they've ever offered in the half-century plus of being in business, and that it'll leave people amazed that donuts can feel like this. Looking at their slightly amorphous shape, you might be tempted to think these extra-soft and chewy donuts are just donuts that are baked for an unusually short time. That's not the case, though, as Mister Donut says the Micchurin are still fried donuts, but that their texture comes from a special coating that softens them up. And just how soft are they? Well, when we picked one up at a press preview, our fingers immediately sunk into the dough! Mind you, we weren't trying to squeeze the Micchurin. We'd picked it up with the same gentle grip we always do when handling something as precious as a donut, but even that modicum of force caused it to indent. These new donuts are so soft that it almost feels like you could drink them. There's clearly potential here for all sorts of limited-time and seasonal Micchurin flavors, but to start Mister Donut is rolling out four kinds: kinako (cinnamon-like roasted soybean powder), mitarashi (a sweet soy sauce glaze traditionally poured on mochi dumplings), azuki (sweet red bean paste), and brown sugar with warabimochi, with prices ranging from 205 to 226 yen (approximately US$1.40-US$1.55). The Micchurin donuts go on sale at Mister Donut branches across Japan on June 4.
