     View Summary

    In this paper, from among the large of number Doraemon works whose subject matter comes from Japanese culture, the Doraemon TV episodes “Even Seat Cushions Have a Spirit" and “A Thief Santa Claus on Christmas Eve" are taken up for discussion. The works are focused on animism, a belief where spirits exist in all things, and on the present-day consumption culture. Analyzing these two episodes together presents the contrast between belief in the god Tsukumo, a divine god that lives in old tools or creatures, and the current throw-away culture.
