❤ Danbo ❤

A friend of mine bought me this cute little toy as a surprise! I fell in ❤ when I first saw how cute it can be. The squarish features and triangular mouth. Too cute not to fall in ❤ with!


I hereby introduce you all to Danbo!
 Danbo first picture
Danbo a.k.a Danboard, is made and came from Japan. It's birth came from a manga - Yotsuba&! The manga is about the Koiwai Family, Yotsuba and her dad move to a new neighborhood. Yotsuba is just a 5 year old little kid and she learns new things around her everyday with her dad and her friends. One day, she created Danbo using just cardboard box. 

Cardboard box translated to Japanese is Danboard and it was then short term to Danbo. After Danbo was born in the manga, it just brings waves of it's fan all around the world.
 Danbo the little box comes in a box? LOL
Danbo miniatures was selling like hotcakes! Everyone wants a bite of it's cuteness! 


It started of selling ONLY on  www.amazon.co.jp but it's production is limited. Then, gradually people who got their hands on it, started selling it in batches with higher prices.


I'm really lucky to get it as a gift! Thank you very much! 


My little Danbo is always keep my home, not much chances to get out much. Though I will definitely bring her (of course it's a she!) to more places!


For now, some shoots of places not so far.
