Anpanman is big in Japan. He has his own television series, clothes, stuffed animals, lunch boxes, shoes, hair accessories, toys, etc. You name it - he has his picture on it. The best part is that he and his friends are super random and quirky which is why the Japanese love him.
The Anpanman museum in Yokohama was the perfect way to spend a chilly Saturday with the kids.
Here's the main players - Anpanman, Meanyman, Spark (Kitty), and Breadhead. The name choices make me laugh. Really, Breadhead - super original. Mustard man is another of my favorites.
One of these things is not like the other. Can you tell who the out of place American kid is?
Liza loved taking pictures with this little camera they gave all the kids when you entered. Unfortunately, she set it down somewhere and it didn't make it home with us. Bummer.
Telling Anpanman stories is now a new favorite thing to do at our house. Obviously I don't know any of the real stories from the show so I just make random things up - so far that has been working brilliantly.
