Weird Japanese Advertising

This is a pretty standard example of advertising in Japan, one of the free fans they hand out at stations to fan yourself with. It is cheerful. It is colourful. It is cute. And I have absolutely no idea what it is about. Are they selling squirrels? Fireworks? The reverse side helpfully adds 'Create It!'.

Alongside the yakitori stands and kimono-clad dancers was a belly dancing performance. That's Japan for you!

Crazy dancer

I tried to capture his crazy dancing in photos, but it was too crazy and my camera couldn't quite handle it. It seems I have a kindred spirit in Japan!
