Hello everyone. And Boss, a sudden question for you. What mountain represents Japan? I am not a mountain; I am Saori from Kawaii Republic.

Eh? What, a mountain? Well, for starters, I am Boss from Kawaii Republic. Hmm, if you're talking about a mountain that represents Japan, the first one that comes to mind is probably Mount Fuji.

Exactly! When Japanese people think of a mountain, they often think of Mount Fuji! And the character we're introducing today also seems to have a strong admiration for Mount Fuji!

Yama is a mountain that appears in Sumikko Gurashi. It's a small mountain that admires Mount Fuji, a large and majestic mountain representing Japan. Yama has legs and can move freely, often appearing in hot springs while pretending to be Mount Fuji.

Just like Mount Fuji, Yama's color changes with the seasons, and it turns red when entering hot springs.

So mountains can move, huh?

Yes, they can move. Didn't you know?

I didn't know......

By the way, Yama is a character that has merchandise other than plushies, thanks to its wonderful shape. There are surprisingly many storage and accessory items, so please check out Yama's cute lineup of goods!
