Funassyi Keychain Japanese Gashapon Yokohama Shu Mai Mascot

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This Japanese keychain features the mascot Funassyi, a popular character in Japan. The item is a miniature figurine, attached to a red cord with a metal tip for easy attachment to keys, a bag, or a mobile phone. The figurine, visible through an unopened transparent plastic package, boasts vibrant colors: yellow for the character, blue for the upper body, and a light brown base reminiscent of a dim sum basket. Funassyi wears a white chef's hat and a small red bow on the front.

On the mascot's head, a small round green and white element resembles a shumai (steamed dumpling), a nod to the culinary specialty mentioned on the label. The cardboard label, attached to the keychain ring, displays Japanese inscriptions, including "横浜限定" (Yokohama limited edition) and graphic illustrations that emphasize the item's kawaii and festive style.

The figurine's finish shows a glossy appearance, typical of die-cast or lacquered plastic items. Funassyi's arms are outstretched, giving the mascot a dynamic look. The facial details are precisely printed: expressive eyes, pink cheeks, a smiling mouth, and a drawn mustache.

The keychain is still sealed in its original bag, ensuring that the figurine's surface is protected from any superficial wear. No defects or alterations are visible on the exposed side. The inscriptions on the base and label remain perfectly legible.

This type of Gashapon keychain is characteristic of items distributed in Japanese capsule machines, often associated with regional editions or commemorative events. The compact size and lightness of the item make it a practical and decorative accessory for daily use.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The figurine is still in its original plastic bag, with no visible signs of wear on the displayed side.

Did you know? Funassyi is an unofficial mascot of Funabashi city, in Chiba Prefecture. Its success in Japan has led to numerous derivative products, including several regional Gashapon series, such as this model commemorating Yokohama's Shu Mai specialty.
