SANRIO - Characters Kuttari Otedama Collection (8pcs) - 4.5cm

Fall in love with Sanrio’s characters in an adorable miniature version withEnsky’s Kuttari Otedama Collection. This range transforms Sanrio’s famous mascots into little, soft otedama, characterised by a supple, slightly sagging silhouette that gives them a particularly cuddly look. Ensky officially presents the range as a collection made from soft, fluffy fabric, designed to fit easily in the palm of your hand.

The display contains 8 boxes, each containing a random selection of one of the 8 designs in the collection. The character inside each package therefore remains a surprise until it is opened.

Each small soft toy measures approximately 4.5 × 4.4 × 4.4 cm and is made from polyester and polystyrene. The latter material is used for the beanbag-style filling characteristic of otedama, which allows the mascots to retain their soft, ‘kuttari’ feel.

Thanks to their very small size, these mascots are easy to display in groups on a desk, a shelf or in a Sanrio-themed display cabinet. Their design focuses more on the soft feel and relaxed appearance of the characters than on a rigid reproduction of a figurine, giving them a distinct identity amongst Sanrio merchandise.

Origin and concept – Kuttari Otedama Collection

The Japanese term ‘otedama’ traditionally refers to small, soft bags used in a Japanese game of skill similar to certain juggling games. In the world of merchandise, the word is also used to describe small, soft, stuffed mascots that can be held in the hand.

The term ‘kuttari’, meanwhile, evokes a relaxed, soft or slumped posture. This is precisely the concept developed here by Ensky: Sanrio characters made from soft fabric and deliberately designed to have a supple, relaxed shape. The manufacturer explicitly highlights their soft texture and comforting appearance.

The collection is therefore not based on a specific narrative or a new story arc for the characters. Its appeal lies primarily in this miniature, tactile interpretation of the Sanrio Characters universe, which transforms the brand’s familiar mascots into small collectables that are easy to handle and display.
