One Piece anime-themed roadside barriers in Kyoto

Tue, September 19, 2017, by Muza-chan

The first roadside barriers designed as cute animals were created 11 years ago by the Sendai-based company Sendaimeiban in collaboration to the Asahiyama Zoo of Hokkaido.

There was only a step left to anime-themed items, such as the One Piece character Monkey D. Luffy, and the one photographed here, representing another character from the same anime, Tony Tony Chopper.
