What on Earth is this? Well, unlike recent posts, I actually know the answer. This is Noppon, the official mascot of Tokyo Tower, the largest iron structure in Japan (it's about one thousand feet high, I think). Helpfully, if you unscrew his head, there is a ball-point pen underneath. Worryingly for a tall building mascot though, he is not very stable on his feet, a little top heavy, and, as can be seen from the second picture, he is a little, well, little. Yoshie thinks he looks strange and I can't decide if he is cute or sinister, but Emma has taken a shine to him and he was a present from a student who lives across the road, so he will be staying.
