Haneda Airport Launches Penguin Merch by Suica Artist Chiharu Sakazaki
A new range of exclusive penguin-themed products has been unveiled by Tokyo's Haneda Airport, featuring illustrations by Chiharu Sakazaki, the creator of the beloved Suica Penguin. This release follows the retirement of the Suica Penguin after 25 years, sparking rumors about its future. The Haneda Penguin, however, is a unique character, marked by its disc-shaped beak and distinct eye design, setting it apart from the Suica version. Launched on May 22, the collection showcases designs inspired by travel, the sky, and Japanese culture, including the "Sky Penguin" in a scarf reminiscent of Japan's flag and "Penguin JAPAN" showcasing regional crafts. Available items include tote bags, acrylic keychains, hand towels, and mugs, all reflecting Sakazaki's charming style, purchasable through HANEDA Shopping and select locations in Terminal 2.
