First produced 12 years ago by the Sendai-based company Sendaimeiban in collaboration with the Asahiyama Zoo of Hokkaido, the roadside barriers designed as cute animals were continously diversified and can now be found all over the country. On the Sakurajima Island in Kagoshima I discovered this version, in the shape of 2 cute tortoises.
