Randy ‘Randoseru’
The randoseru, the leather backpack that every elementary school kid wears is a quintessential Japanese sight.
Red Randoseru are for girls, black ones are for boys and “Peach Backpacks” are for….
Original idea via: The Peach Backpack by Yen-Hsiang Skeet Wang — Yanko Design
In case you were wondering, Randoseru
(Raenzel) is from the German word for rucksack.
Previously, the 3Yen featured the ultimate Randoseru-wearing Japanese schoolgirl robot, Strongmachine in this Polysics’ music video.
