Rishu Japanese-style Tea Cup
This is something that I found later into my Mamotte collecting. It is a cute little ceramic tea cup featuring Rishu (who is enjoying a cup of tea herself).

Mamotte Towels
I would say that no Mamotte bathroom is complete without towels . . . but these are the only bathroom-related items. XD
I've never seen these in person but it looks like the larger Shao towel is a body towel. The small Rishu towel is probably a face cloth. The illustrations on these are really cute. I love Rishu (of course) because of her adorable outfit and despite her comically oversized feet!
Original price: 3,500¥

Mamotte Fūrin
A fuurin is a Japanese-style wind chime. It shaped like a cowbell, with a ceramic or glass cup with a ball suspended inside. There is often a piece of paper that dangles below the ball.
This fuurin is ceramic with chibi Shao, Ruan, Rishu and Kiryuu. Little fish and bubbles, with the words "Mamotte Syugogetten!" trailing near the end. The paper that hangs from the bottom also has the chibi characters.
I think these chimes are used during the summer. It would be great to hang outside, but it could mess up the little paper tag!

Syugogetten Sign with Changeable Plates
I acquired a new toy! This is something that I had seen back in the early 2000's, never bought and consequently never saw for sale again. :P This piece was released during the tv series days. It is a wood room sign. I'm not sure of the type of wood; but it isn't composite board or anything like that.
The top of the sign is shaped like the shitenrin and has the same border/design. Inside is an image of Shao holding Rishu in her hands. There are metal hooks at the bottom where you can hang one of two boards. After a half hour of attempting to translate, I can only conclude that the board with Shao and Ruan says something to the effect of "I'm home; Come in". The board with Tasuke and Rishu probably says "I'm sorry; I'm out!".
I can't be sure if this type of sign is used for the door of a home or for a bedroom door. Either way, it is a really adorable collectible.

Shitenrin Mirror
This seems to be a rather elusive item. It is a shitenrin mirror that looks like it was released when the tv show was airing. The frame of the mirror is exactly like Shao's and is probably just large enough to cup in both hands. Sometimes this mirror will show up on Yahoo!Japan, but the price is in the 200,00¥ at the least (around $200+, depending on the exchange rate).
Original price: 1,800¥

Mamotte Pillow Set
Here is an item I've never seen in person but would love to have: Mamotte pillows!
I'm not sure on the sizes of these. They might be on the small side; maybe no more than 12" in diameter. But both have a cute Mamotte character chibi!
The blue pillow has a chibi Shaolin while the pink is, of course, Rishu. The image of Rishu is the same image that is used on the plastic keychain charm in the day planner refill set.
The pillows appear to come in a set, but I'm not certain. Many auctions I've seen of them have the pair being sold together.

Rishu Mug
Here's an item that I've wanted but never got to get. Which is a shame since I've come across them at conventions years ago but never actually bought one!
This is an a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e coffee mug! It is a cream-yellow colored mug. The top has the dot and line pattern seen on the Shiterin. Along the bottom, there's a little pattern of Rishu whistling, tripping and falling, then looking up from her fall. It is so cute! The pattern repeats twice along an orange border with "Rishu" written in it.
