Sanrio piggy banks that catch your eye instantly when placed in your room have arrived. The appeal lies in designs that offer not just practicality, but also enjoyment as interior decoration. We’ll introduce you all at once to playful piggy banks, from a radiant Hello Kitty in a gorgeous kimono to nostalgic coin purse-style designs.
Hello! I’m Sekai, the virtual reporter for Perfect World Tokyo!
This time, I’m introducing piggy banks featuring Sanrio characters as the motif. From classic designs with characters die-cut into their iconic shapes to uniquely playful ones that make you chuckle, there are 9 types in total! They’re all designed not just to function as piggy banks, but also to be displayed and enjoyed as interior decoration.
First, here’s Kitty in a gorgeous red kimono. Her dignified seated posture is absolutely adorable~
The sleeves and body are adorned with plenty of floral patterns, creating a very elegant finish. The back features a beautifully tied obi with decorative accessories that match the kimono. The meticulous craftsmanship with attention to every detail is truly admirable.
It has the luxury and sophistication of a ceramic figurine, and possesses such presence that you wouldn’t think it’s a piggy bank. This Kitty would complement Japanese modern interior well and could become the centerpiece of your room.
Another Kitty motif follows—this one is Kitty transformed into a “hariko” (papier-mâché doll) piggy bank.
Like the traditional dog hariko with four legs, the chubby, rounded form is genius-level cute! You can’t help but admire this lovable appearance.
Hariko, which carries the meaning of warding off evil, is perfect for displaying as a good-luck charm. Placing it in your room should bring good fortune. Displaying it alongside the kimono Kitty from before would create an even more wonderfully Japanese aesthetic.
There’s also a Kitty piggy bank that has transformed into a Daruma doll!
While the design is striking and eye-catching, the subdued “matcha green” color creates a somehow soothing atmosphere. With its distinctly Japanese feel, it would be a great gift for international visitors as well.
Following the good-luck charm theme, next is this one—Badtz-Maru themed with the “Seven Lucky Gods” as the motif.
With the large bag and lucky mallet, this must be Daikoku-sama (the god of wealth)!
What an authoritative back view!
Despite being a deity, the dumbfounded expression that’s signature Badtz-Maru is hilarious. This cute contrast makes you chuckle. Just displaying it in your room should boost the fortune of the entire space.
Next is a unique item that transforms an actual coin purse-style wallet into a piggy bank. The concept of a coin purse-shaped piggy bank is somehow delightful!
The Kitty version features a festival design. Colorful fireworks beautifully illuminate the background.
The Kuromi version features a cherry blossom viewing design. Her glancing-back pose is so adorably charming!
The rounded, plump coin purse form has a somewhat retro and sophisticated feel. The attention to both shape and design makes it perfect for displaying as interior decoration.
Next is the Pekkle duck piggy bank with a refreshing white and blue contrast.
Pekkle’s little perched pose is incredibly cute.
Also in the lineup is this playful Pompompurin piggy bank sitting on top of a giant pudding.
Not just cherries but Pompompurin himself looks like a topping on the pudding. The design is so perfectly suited that it wouldn’t be strange if it actually appeared on a café menu.
Finally, there’s the Rocking Elephant piggy bank. The design is reminiscent of the playground equipment where you’d ride on the back of an elephant-shaped toy and it would rock back and forth. There’s something delightfully quirky about it!
All 9 types of piggy banks introduced this time come with a removable base. Since you can take out the contents, you can enjoy your favorite piggy bank for a long time. We hope you’ll find your favorite among these and display it in your room!
