Chawanko

Chawanko Japanese Name: 茶わんこ Literal Translation: Rice Bowl1 Puppy Released: ? Today also thank you for the delicious meal. 今日もおいしいごはんをありがとう。 Images

This random little rice bowl puppy seems to also enjoy Japanese calligraphy (書道) as he's holding a calligraphy brush and presumably drew the text around him. I feel like there must be so much more to this story... Translation Notes "Chawan" (茶碗) can mean rice bowl or tea cup. I think it means rice bowl in this case since the puppy is talking about a meal ("gohan" which means "meal" or "rice"). "Wanko" means "puppy" so the two words are being combined together to form "Chawanko." Wikipedia: Chawan
