Dipping back to Sapporo

We stopped in at Sapporo for a day on the way back from Asahikawa.
The MOMA had an exhibition about Sanrio that opened that day.

The ticket queue wound around this sculpture composed of Hello Kitty dolls,

There was a section dedicated to the history of the company

Including this retelling of Red Riding Hood

in which I'm pretty sure they eat the wolf at the end

There was this child's desk setup for unexplained reasons

And a giant Hello Kitty

Displays about some of the more profitable popular characters

which you may or may not have heard of

as well as about 16 of these posters that showed all the other characters that didn't quite make it into the popular consciousness

Including the possibly poorly named "Spunky Burro"

Kuromi is some sort of "evil" rabbit (for values of evil that suit characters made for 4 year old children)

Berry themed Kitties

A dress made of hello kitty plushes 

And this giant my melody

An illumination inside a building where we went for dinner

The same building had the entry/exit to the Ferris wheel 

Illumination outside our hotel

The Ferris wheel as seen from my room
