Earlier this year we featured an amazing plush billboard in Tokyo’s Shibuya Station shaped like the face of a giant black cat. It was an ad for Japanese shipping service Yamato Unyu (Yamato Transport), whose logo is a cute black kitty, so they’re more commonly known as Kuroneko (black cat) Yamato.
A huge pettable black cat face is already pretty awesome, but Kuroneko Yamato has outdone themselves by installing a complete, and even bigger, giant black cat in Shinjuku Station that’s also…wait for it…a giver of free presents! When you press its oversized nose the colossal kitty opens its mouth to dispense an assortment of 72 different Kuroneko-themed presents on its tongue.
That’s right. Go to Japan, skritch a great big kitty nose, receive a present. So super awesome!
“The big cat will be “awake” and spitting out presents at Shinjuku Station’s Metro Promenade from 11:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m. every day until 4 October. After that, he goes on tour, stopping at ten locations around the country, like a giant, furry, four-legged, off-season Santa with presents for furballs.”
