anniversary
We are two years away from the multi-million dollar festival that marks 1300 years since the establishment of Nara's Heijo-kyo as Japan's capital. Such an event needs a mascot, and they couldn't have chosen a funnier one than this. There are thousands of complaints already and we're just getting started!

Ugh.. That thing is not only "un-cute," it's kinda off-putting.
