This penguin does not have coprophobia.

I keep trying to get off the poo theme, but then I'll come across something like a penguin with a giant turd for a head. So cool! And then I realize that as long as I'm blogging about Japan, I will always be blogging intermittently about poo.

Dear Squeamish Readers,

I'm sorry about the too-frequent-for-comfort poo references. I hope it doesn't deter you from visiting my site for non-poo-related tidbits from Japan. Perhaps you should try to overcome your coprophobia (medical term for fear of feces) by buying this wonderful prop at a Halloween store near you.
