Nuigurumi
Japanese word for doll or stuffed toy, literally meaning, 'sew-and-wrap.' Examples are Gloomy Bear, Ugly Dolls, Hello Kitty, Monster Dolls, Sugar Bunnies, Tokotoko. Despite some of their scary names they are all very cute. Nowadays, you can obtain many complex nuigurumi patterns on the internet and in catalogues, etc. Dekora-chans (sometimes spelled Decora-chan) usually wear them hanging on chains or ribbons from their clothing or perched on their hats. If you visit Harajuku you might see a few of them gracing girls' headwear, tied to wrists, or peeking out of purses.
