Stomp back more than 70 years with Dai no Osore, a dinosaur plush from 1950's Shinjuku. Said to predate a cinematic age, was he inspired by ancient reptiles?
Dai no Osore, which translates to “Immense Dread”, is a plush dinosaur from 1950s Shinjuku.
He hails from mid-century Tokyo, a time when monster movies filled the screens, metal gave way to plastic, and shopfront creatures captured young imaginations. Is he a T-Rex? A Stegosaurus? Or a trick of movie magic?
Dai no Osore is a plush for the dreamers of beasts, the fans of film, and the kids who saw wonder in the fearsome.
