Hanamaru, The White Seal

One of Bad Badtz-Maru's best friends is Hana maru. This picture is a circa 90s six-inch plush by Sanrio.

Hana Maru is described as friendly and helpful, with having the hobbies of gardening and ball acrobatics.

I love the simplicity of this plush's design, with very little embroidery impressions, in the whiskers, smile and flower, and also the great contrast between the pink flower, with yellow center and green stem, to Hana Maru's white fur. This design exemplifies 'less is more'.

Hello, Welcome to Kawaii Gem's First Post!

I love cool [and kawaii] franchise merchandise, like Sanrio's plushies for example. Kawaii Gems, I hope, will expose some rare items that Sanrio, San-X, Welovefine, Jinx, Otakumode, JapanLa, or local vendors release. If you would like to aid my search, please share! Otherwise, stay tuned.
