Collectors note
The I Love Japan Hello Kitty was released in August 2011 to assist the American Red Cross in their efforts to help the victims of the earthquake and tsunami that occurred in Japan on 11th March 2011.
This is the UK version of the I Love Japan Hello Kitty. There was another version for the USA market which featured a nurse’s hat with a red cross on the front. The USA version with the hat couldn’t be released in the UK for legal reasons regarding the use of the Red Cross logo. In the UK, you can only use the Red Cross for official Red Cross business. The UK version also came without the “Hello Japan, support our friends” tag that came attached the the USA version.
