Sakuya Kudan
Sakuya Kudan - a school girl aged 15 is an original character that was printed on garbage ("rubbish" or "trash" depending on where you live) bags and sold for 350 yen for a pack of 10 at a recent Sakura festival near Yasukuni Shrine.
The Chiyoda Tourist Association thought it would be interesting to endorse the moe garbage bags and decided to go ahead and sell them.
It was a chap called Hyashi at Keio university who came up with the idea and he is looking at selling these garbage bags at Akihabara too.
The thing about these bags is that maybe I could not get myself to use them because they are too moe - throwing out a 15 year old school girl sounds heartbreaking.
We are seeing moe becoming a more and more part of every day life now - moe rice, moe curry, moe garbage bags - will be interesting to see whats next.
