I went up to Amu Plaza Friday evening to get some post-Valentine's Day desserts from the food court in the basement of the department store, and discovered that they were putting on another Saigo Takamori-themed arts and crafts event this weekend. However, this time the sponsors had markers set out for people to draw on the big inflatable Saigo.
A small sampling of the writing on Saigo's back.
I got back to Amu Plaza on Sunday.
At this point, there was a promotion going on with a bunch of the local foamhead mascots, which apparently included rock-paper-scissors contests for children for small prizes.
Some of the foamheads.
Plus the big Saigo mannequin.
One of the vendors was selling products parodying Puma and Starbucks. (Buta = pig.)
Another interpretation of Saigo.
More mascots promoting a local area trying to get more tourists. I didn't catch which city they represent, but apparently they just started using these characters one month ago. Foxes.
Otherwise, another quiet weekend overall.
