Pompompurin is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year!

To commemorate this anniversary year, the release of "Pompompurin 30th Anniversary Relaxing Pompom BOOK" has been decided!

The included item is a "Fluffy Butt Cushion" designed with Pompompurin's signature butt mark and the Team Purin characters.

★ Appeal of the Fluffy Butt Cushion

Popular! Focus on the cute butt

The highlight is Pompompurin's signature "butt mark." The tail and feet have a three-dimensional design, making it feel like Pompompurin has appeared in your home. You're sure to be soothed by its round form and fluffy, huggable feel!

On the other side, there's a cute illustration of Pompompurin, Muffin, Scone, and Bagel from Team Purin gathered together. It's so cute you'll want to hug it tight.

Convenient Design for Home or Office

There's a hole on the side to put your arm through. By putting your arm through and hugging it tightly, you can increase the sense of closeness! You can spend more relaxing time with the Pompompurin characters.

If you rest your head on the fluffy cushion while your arm is through the hole and lean on your desk, you can even take a nap, making it perfect for breaks at the office. Why not take a nap with the cute butt?
