Jump Festa 2019 Merchandise from Chugai Mining (Chugai Contents)
The Chugai Mining Twitter just posted their JF 2019 lineup! Looks like we’re getting some mini hanging illustrations, badges, two different sets of acrylic stands, rubber straps, and some adorable wooden charms. If you spend ¥3,000 at their booth on Yu Yu merch you’ll get a free shopping bag with all of the full body illustrations and some lovely flowers on it.
OK, the little designs where the characters are holding wagasa (for some reason there is no Yomi, which I don’t care but since the other kings are there… does this mean Mukuro and Raizen sell better? lol) are cute, but I wanted to point out…
The masks.
Kurama(s) has a fox, Hiei has a dragon, no surprises there.
Kuwabara has a tengu – Shinto deity or yokai with big nose and wings. There are different versions but generally now they’re thought of as wise protective mountain ascetics.
Koenma’s looks like a general aka oni (red ogre) mask. Like his employees lol.
Mukuro’s is clearly a woman’s mask, but it looks like Okame/Otafuku. This is a merry woman who brings laughter and good fortune and I associate it with Kyogen (comedic plays). A choice with many interesting connotations if you, like me, think too much about everything haha
Raizen’s appears to be a lion dog (shisa/komainu). They’re guardians. I thought this was really cute lol
And the one that made me pause while clicking and then look carefully at the other masks was Yusuke’s. It’s HANNYA lol. I’m going to assume this is because the design is so recognizable, and people can easily identify it as “a demon”. For those who don’t know, Hannya in Noh plays actually represents a woman who has turned into a demon because of extreme jealousy.
