Talking flower doll will brighten your cubicle…
a little

flower doll

Poor, lonely Japanese salarymen. They're trapped in their cubicles for so long, staring vacantly at their computer screens. All they want is a little companionship to feel a bit more human.

Well, too bad, sad salaryman. You can have a little doll that talks when you water the single flower you have in your cubicle to remind you what life is like outside in the fresh air where plants grow and animals frolic, and you'll be happy with it. He perches in front of a flower vase, and when you water them or touch them he'll spout out one of his 200 phrases, all of which I'm sure are clever and entertaining and maybe, just maybe, a little humanizing.

Coming just in time for seasonal depression, mid-December, for about $35 in Japan.
