Hello Kitty Collectibles

The Cute, The Quirky & The Strange

Hello Kitty memorabilia stores are all over Japan. The world-famous mouthless cat is printed on all sorts of collectibles. In a huge Sanrio Gallery I visited in downtown Osaka, there was a corner of Hello Kitty collectibles that intrigued me. The collectibles were a quirky fusion of Hello Kitty, Japan's most famous fictional character, with quintessential Japanese food, mythical folklore creatures and famous Japanese landmarks. The possibilities are abundant and the result is sometimes pretty, sometimes strange. It leaves you marvelling at the creativity of the Japanese. While you can find most designs at Sanrio Gallery, some of them are unique to a particular place and are only sold there, such as the Shirakawago one. Now, go ahead and hunt them all!

Would you eat a gyoza printed with Hello Kitty on it if it does exist? This could be a business idea with all these novelty food trends taking flight these days. And yes, these tiny Hello Kitty memorabilia do not come cheap.
Here, Hello Kitty appears as a kappa, which is a mischievous water imp from Japanese folklore - a fusion of modern and ancient fictional characters.
Hello Kitty dressed up in Hanshin Tigers baseball uniform! I love how they look so professional in their poses.
You don't want to mess with a Hello Kitty ninja, but I'm not sure if I could take a ninja with a red ribbon seriously.
Someone please help this poor cat with her head stuck in a building.
