Some ghosts are super cute, like Casper and Obake no Q-taro. Others are kinda scary. This glow-in-the-dark lighter ghost is definitely in the cute category. Pull down on its arm, and a little torch will light up on its head. Or you can just keep him around your living room as decoration.

In 2008, Chronicle published my book: Urawaza: Secret Everyday Tips and Tricks from Japan.
I am also the founder of The Tofu Project, a boutique program that helps Japanese entrepreneurs and creators think deeper, tell better stories, and go out into the world in a much bigger way. We work with companies like Mixi, Japan Airlines, and Salesforce.com.
Sometimes I try to explain Japanese culture on CNN, BBC, CBC, WSJ, ABC (so many acronyms!) or in person at places like the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, ETech, and Ignite!

Some time ago in Japan I bought a Mazinger-Z keyring. It was a lighter, actually.
Thought it was a relic from the seventies. Now I see toy-shaped lighters are normal in Japan. Quite dangerous

How howhowhow can an non-Japanese speaking enthusiast obtain these lighters stateside?
Does the store allow them to be sent over here?
