Welcome Back, Kumamon

  • Category:Event
The Yomiuri Shimbun

Kumamoto Prefecture mascot Kumamon is surrounded by children, who happily touch the popular character, at Choyo Nursery School in the village of Minami-Aso in the prefecture on Friday morning.

Until Wednesday, Kumamon had refrained from appearing in public since a powerful earthquake hit the prefecture on April 14.

The disaster-stricken prefecture is still suffering, including from the danger of loose ground, which worsened due to Friday’s rainfall. The number of deaths indirectly related to the series of quakes has risen to 18.
