Michelle Obama is very popular in Japan and although she is not going  with President Barack Obama on his visit to Tokyo Japan and other Asian countries on Friday November 13th, the First lady will still be there in spirit, while there Barack Obama will meet with Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama, First Lady Miyuki Hatoyama, and Emperor Akihito.

In honor of the  visit and to help stimulate their economy, Japanese toy maker Ogawa Studios created rubber masks that resemble Michelle Obama and President Barack Obama. The masks are currently on sale for $24.50, and can be purchased from the studio’s website. The company makes about 60 of these masks a day. 

Barack Obama rubber mask is the top-selling face mask in Japan.
