Cute Japanese Nyan Nyan Nyanko Charm - Cute Cat - Nyanko Shumai by DecoSweets on Etsy

These are soooo cute! This little character is called "nyan nyan nyanko". Nyan Nyan Nyanko, known as simply Nyanko for short are small, usually white kittens that enjoy mimicking various items, generally edible items.

The term "Nyan" or "nyaa" is a Japanese onomatopoeic word for a cat's meow. "Ko" is a word which in Japanese connotates with "child" or "young." Together they make the childish/cutesy word for kitten.

This little guy is in shumai (shaomai in chinese - steamed chinese dumpling). It measures W2.5cm x H2cm x D2.5cm

This is good for making handmade jewelry, accessory, strap, key holder and etc.
