KAIYODO held their great works of figurines and garage kits exhibition at Tobu Ikebukuro.
I’m a big fan of their tiny freebie toys for candies and capsule gashapons – of course there’s ton of the collections of their famous figurines.(but I think it’s not whole collection!)
The well-known 5 sculptors section were also stunning. From their beautiful drawings to the finished work, all of their work were very interesting.
Hot and high-humidity summer is here in Tokyo. Cool-looking and useful goods were gathered in Shibuya LOFT.
I got printed gauze hankies. Cute Alice in Wonderland motif Shirayuki and reversible space motif Mie gauze.
Gauze and tenugui textiles are really good for bringing these on summer days in Japan.

I went the exhibition of Otome no Kanazawa held at Takashimaya in Futagotamagawa.
The exhibition was so full of cute things and tasty food from Kanazawa-shi, Ishikawa-ken that I enjoy it very much.
I bought a lot of souvenir.
Funny king of the animals hankie from OTTAIPNU.
Some of them are baring their fangs, and others are in silence in the hot pink field.
I love their tiny bodies and cute tails too.

Latest eneloop brand (one of the most famous rechargeable battery in Japan) is from Panasonic, but… old designs from Sanyo is much cuter and cooler.
Still now we can get some of these, so I got limited edition, eneloop in pink gradation.
These lovely batteries makes me happy to use anytime!

The adorable Disney characters are presented by Q-pot.
Disney inspired jewelries are so cute and adorable. I am in love with the Alice ring.
I got a unique purse at “suikinchikamokudottenmeikai”(the shop name means all planets of the solar system!), it was made by traditional handcraft in Tokyo.
So many beautiful modern design purses at there, but I chose Utagawa Kuniyoshi’s famous ukiyoe cats one.
This was designed to be very flat shape, for put it into kimono’s obi to bring safely.
