Hello everyone! This is Saori from Kawaii Republic!

Today! They usually love their corners, but this time everyone is heading out! This is also the goods theme where that now-familiar character made their very first appearance!

Kawauso (Otter) appears so often in Sumikko Gurashi themes that they're practically a semi-regular! But did you know? Kawauso actually made their debut right here in this 'Kawauso and Sumikko Camp' theme!

And that's how Kawauso made their first appearance! They actually have a bit of a heavy backstory—being a survivor of an extinct species and having to move from place to place because they're so rare people want to catch them...... but seeing them camp so peacefully and happily with their new Sumikko friends really warms the heart......

The Sumikkos usually seem like indoor types, but this time there are tons of outdoor camping-style goods! With plush bonfires and illustrations of them actually camping, it's a super cute lineup. Definitely check them out as companions for your next outdoor adventure!
