The world-famous lovable Domo is back, and now you can follow him all-year 'round in the new book Domo In The World. Just released from Abrams Image, the photo book features a plush Domo through many seasons and holidays -- back-to-school, Thanksgiving, sunbathing, and much more. Making Domo In The World even cooler is that all the text is written in haiku form!
Domo started life as a mascot for Japan's NHK television station, starring in a series of stop-action shorts in 1998. Created by Tsuneo G?da, who directed the shorts, Domo is said to be a "strange creature that was hatched from an egg." His mouth locked open in a permanent toothy expression, the fuzzy squarish brown character boasts more than a million fan-sites, has over 230,000 friends on Facebook, and has appeared in everything from manga to T-shirts to video games.
Domo recently saw a surge in popularity in the U.S. after Dark Horse received the license to make a range of collectible vinyl figures and other product based on the character. Domo in the World is the perfect introduction to the Domo phenomenon -- and a real treat for his large pre-existing fan-base as well!
Domo In The World is at bookstores right now! Check out some cool art from the book below!
