Mortar Magic “Tottori Sand Dunes Moai”
A distinctive Tottori souvenir that realistically captures the texture of sand.
An original Tottori souvenir shaped like a Moai statue and made with sand from the Tottori Sand Dunes area. Rather than hardening the sand like cement, a proprietary technique realistically preserves its fine, smooth texture.
These sturdy Moai statues made of sand stand out for their solid presence and distinctively surreal expressions. Line them up side by side, and their excellent stability creates a scene reminiscent of Easter Island. Each statue is carefully handcrafted, so no two expressions are exactly alike.
Choosing one is part of the fun, with different sizes and variations available. These include the 2.95-inch-tall “Tottori Sand Dunes Moai Z,” the 2.36-inch-tall “Mini Moai,” the practical “Mini Moai Magnet,” and the “Mini Beckoning Moai,” inspired by Japan’s beckoning cat figurines. The compact Moai statues are easy to carry and popular as souvenirs.
