Japan's Yosimiya is marketing a novel twist on the classic birth announcement. DAKIGOKOCHI are sacks of rice printed with all the info included in a traditional birth announcement.
Available in a variety of colourful designs, the bean-like shape of the sacks combined with the personalized picture of each baby's face make the sacks look like swaddled infants. Rice weighed to match the weight of each child at birth adds to the fake baby fun. Neat, and somewhat practical - if in a silly, impractical Japanese way.
They're also pretty cute and cuddly-looking - until you think about slicing them open and boiling their delicious insides... the bags, not the babies.
