Mojibakeru designed by Shigeru Ishitsuka and Misako Kirigaya

Mojibakeru is derived from the Japanese words “moji” (character) and “bakeru” (to change). Cute and wonderful toys that shape-shift and transform from Japanese pictograms into animals….”a tangible demonstration of the historical link between symbol and object.” These colorful characters are on view now as a part of the super cool exhibit Talk To Me at MoMA.
