Hello Kitty Tombstones in Japan

In Japan where cute or kawaii is in, it should come as no surprise for any gaijin living in Japan to see anime type characters on tombstones like Hello Kitty, Doraemon and Pikachu. At the Yamamoto Choshi tombstone shop, they combine Hello Kitty and World Cup fever together with a unique Hello Kitty soccer stone sculpture in the video below.
