“Buttan”, the mascot of Bukkyo Univ (Butsudai), is seen everywhere on campus of the school but rarely recognized by public except for the students. Even the neighbors don’t know of him. I live in the vicinity of Butsudai and only Buttan I meet is behind bars… Sad.
(I used to be a student of the UW-Madison, whose mascot was Bucky Badger. His images were flooding in Madison and everybody knew him– appearing on the milk bottles in supermarkets and printed even on the condom packets on a shelf by the checkout counter of a convenience store.)
