In 1959, Takashimaya department stores in Japan decorated their facilities for Christmas promotions and the festive mood. Tokutaro Takaoka, an illustrator with Western-style drawing taste, came up with the idea of drawing a girl and a boy for the special occasion too. Named Rose Chan, these kids were uniquely designed as “doll-like girl and boy with a big head and curvy hips”. From that time, Takashimaya has used Rose Chan as its mascot.
