It’s not unusual to see people wearing surgical mask in Japan especially when Spring time starts as Japan gets a whammy of cedar pollen which leads to runny noses, watery eyes and coughing. People with Pollen Allergy wears mask primarily to protect against the pollen.
Out of respect when one is sick, surgical masks are also worn to prevent the spread of germs when coughing and breathing. That is one of the nice things about Japanese, they care for others, such good citizens.
This year is a sort of a bit unlucky for me. As much as I love Spring, I feel bad because Im already one of those who wears mask everytime I go out. There’s something in the air that makes me uncomfortable because of pollen allergy . Those whammy and evil POLLENS! I guess I have to wear masks til Spring is over uhhhggg
Anyway, surgical masks are available for kids too. There are various cute designs to choose. I bought Hello Kitty Mask for our kawaii Patootee tehee..

Hello Kitty Surgical Mask ( ¥400 ~ at Sanrio )

Azumi wearing Hello Kitty Surgical Mask
Don’t worry. Azumi doesn’t have Pollen Allergies. But I’d like her to get used to wearing it just in case.. She still gets uncomfortable after few minutes
Nonetheless, isn’t it kawaii?
Wish I can also wear mask without having a weird reaction from anyone in Manila lol
Love lots,
Anzu’s Mum ♥ ~ ♥
Thanks for the comments ~

It is cute. Dapat i-implement din dito sa Pinas yan, not because of pollen but because of the pollution. Lalo na in Metro Manila and in public transportation.
Oo nga.. naisip ko na rin magmask sa atin kaya lang pagtitinginan ka sigurado lol
Very funny and wonderful colors. Have a good week
I love the mask. They look cute. Your little princess is getting so big.Be careful and safe.
I suppose for sanitary conditions there in Japan? How are things doing at your family Mam Bambie? My Mellow Yellow Monday post
Love the bag! Cute cute naman hehehe.
You can use surgical mask if you are highly allergic to pollens. Anzu can also wear the kiddie type cute surgical mask. No one will bother you in Japan since everybody seems to be wearing one because of fear of nuclear fallout from Fukushima. But in the Philippines, you will attract stares and giggles if you wear one. Thanks for the post. God bless you all always.
That’s so cute. So allergic ka sa pollen? Ako naman hindi, kaso sa grass, weeds, cats, molds at dairy products ako allergic. marami rin may mga allergic sa pollen dito, aksi pagdating ng spring season eh naglalabasan na ang mga bulaklak. Wawa ka naman, allergic ka sa pollen. inom ka na lang ng anti histamine..
So cute!!!
