The Aoshima Cat Plush Toy is inspired by the famous feline residents of Aoshima Island, often referred to as "Cat Island" in Japan. With cats outnumbering humans by approximately six to one, Aoshima has become a symbol of the special relationship between Japanese island communities and their beloved street cats.
Each plush toy is meticulously handcrafted to capture the unique characteristics of the island's cats, from their distinctive markings to their playful expressions. Our artisans spend time studying photographs and making trips to the island to ensure authentic representation.
The plush is made with premium, hypoallergenic materials that are safe for children and adults alike. The exterior fabric is soft to the touch yet durable enough to withstand years of loving hugs. Inside, the toy is filled with high-quality polyester filling that maintains its shape even after extensive use.
Every Aoshima Cat Plush Toy comes with a specially designed story card that tells the tale of the specific cat that inspired the design, creating a deeper connection between the owner and the real felines of Aoshima Island.
By purchasing this plush toy, you're not only bringing home a piece of Japan's unique cat culture, but you're also supporting the welfare of the actual street cats on Aoshima Island. 10% of all proceeds from this product go directly to programs that provide food, healthcare, and shelter to the island's feline population.

I bought this plush toy for my daughter who is obsessed with Japan's cat islands. The quality is exceptional, and it looks just like the photos of cats from Aoshima I've seen online. The story card that came with it was a lovely touch and made it feel even more special. Highly recommend!
As someone who has actually visited Aoshima, I was amazed by how accurate this plush toy is. The attention to detail is remarkable, and you can tell it was made with care. I also appreciate that part of the proceeds goes to helping the real cats on the island. Will definitely be purchasing more products from this store!
The plush toy is beautifully made and the fabric feels very soft and high quality. My only small critique is that I expected it to be slightly larger based on the measurements listed. Nevertheless, it's a beautiful piece and the story card was a lovely addition. Would recommend to friends but with a note about the size.
