Gurunpa’s Kindergarten is a beloved children’s book from over 50 years ago, first released in 1965. The longtime favorite book was written by Minami Nishiuchi and illustrated by Seiichi Horiuchi.



This Gurunpa plush doll was created by plush manufacturer Sekiguchi. He’s got a cute sitting pose, and at six inches tall is about the size of the palm of a hand. He has soft fur, pink cheeks, big ears and a long trunk. He’s extremely cute at any angle and is soothing to look at. His neck turns 180 degrees so you can turn his head to your preferred angle and admire him when he’s faced a little to the side. This plush is good for keeping in a place you see all the time, such as on your desk or in the entryway in your house.
