What is Delimaru? (The “Gotsu-Kawaii” Appeal)

In Japan, we are obsessed with “Gotsu-kawaii” (rugged yet adorable). Delimaru represents the tough SUV spirit of the Delica Mini with a cheeky, round-eyed face.

I tried using accessory trays, but he would tumble over as soon as I looked away. Oh no!

The DIY Hack: Make Him Stand Perfectly

I found the perfect solution at DAISO (Japanese 100-yen shop).

Items Needed:

  • Smartphone holder (Spherical type)
  • Paper clay

Steps:

  1. Fill the base of the holder with paper clay to add weight.
  2. Dry the clay completely.
  3. Place Delimaru on his new stable “throne”.

Pro Tip for Travelers: DAISO online shipping is expensive (1,100 yen!). If you are in Japan, visit a physical store instead.
