Sanrio Characters - Gudetama - Daruma - Orange (Usaburo Kokeshi)Gudetama · Usaburo Kokeshi

Usaburo Kokeshi presents Gudetama in a traditional daruma-style kokeshi format, finished in a warm orange colorway. This piece merges the centuries-old Japanese craft of kokeshi doll making with one of Sanrio's most popular modern characters, resulting in a unique crossover collectible. Gudetama is Sanrio's perpetually exhausted, unmotivated egg yolk character who first appeared in 2013 and quickly became a cultural phenomenon for its relatable lethargic personality. The daruma form references the traditional Japanese wishing doll symbolizing perseverance, creating an amusing contrast with Gudetama's signature laziness. Usaburo Kokeshi is a respected kokeshi workshop with multiple generations of craftsmen, including artisans like Yuji Okamoto and Nobuyuki Ishisone. The figure measures 30 × 30 × 35mm and weighs 10g, crafted from Mizuki wood. It carries the product number SR-03-1 and is intended for the domestic Japanese market, as overseas shipping is not available for this item.
