The two most well-known photo sets are “Escaping Daikon” and “Sexy Legs Daikon.” The main characters of these sets are daikon radishes (a type of white radish common in Japan) with ᴜпіqᴜe shapes. The photo sets aim to encourage people to exercise regularly and improve their health.
The daikon radish variety is a type of root vegetable, so they often grow into large roots resembling human limbs. This makes them incredibly cute and humorous.
The images of daikon radishes in various positions are amusing to everyone: lounging, running around, from inside the house, oᴜt in the alley, oᴜt on the street…
According to Japan сгᴜѕһ, just one week after sharing the humorous daikon radish photos, @konsai_umemama gained an additional 4,500 followers. The vegetable farming business in Hyogo also became much more successful.
Moreover, many TV programs have visited farms in Hyogo to feature this special type of radish.
The images from “Escaping Daikon” have become so popular that they are featured in supermarkets, printed on calendars, toys, and photo books.
