The theme for their Christmas set up is “Hello Kitty Christmas Village“, composed of large scale village house of each of the Hello Kitty characters.

The main character of Sanrio which is Hello Kitty is there with her sister Mimi, and with childhood friend Daniel, also with their parents and grandparents.

I’m reading the profile of Hello Kitty posted in the wall of the exhibit area and found that her birthplace was in London, England .

Hello Kitty collection of Ms. Jillan Ward
Ms. Jillian Ward is a child star of GMA Kapuso channel 7 who played Gertrudis “Trudis” Capili in Trudis Liit and television endorser
Almost all collectors thought she was created in Japan, since she was created by designer Yuko Shimizu back in the 1974 as a character design embedded in a coin purse for Sanrio. I would also remember that majority of my female classmates in elementary collected Hello Kitty stuffs.
