Experience Japan through its cutest products!

Happy New Year!

Is everyone taking some time to relax? We've been working hard these past few months ourselves, and we're excited to finally have everything ready for our website's first launch in 2024.

Being a fan of a series can become quite a lifestyle on its own. You take a small interest in something, and before you know it...

Sometimes, our passion for cuteness knows no bounds. We're always looking for new items from various brands to add to our home displays, no thanks to our own collecting habits. (I have a soft spot for Kirby goods in particular, myself.)

Luckily, there is no shortage of what IPs will decide to print their adorable branding on. Plush, miniatures, passenger trains, cosmetics and self-care products... the list goes on for eternity. For example, did you know character-themed cafés are quite common and popular spots?

Walk around in urban Japan and you won't be able to go more than a block without seeing some form of fan paradise leaking out into the world. But that isn't very commonplace in most places outside of the country, is it?

It can be pretty difficult to get your hands on things sometimes. Often, companies will refuse to even sell outside of Japan. There are ways around this, but proxy and shipping fees can add up, and it can be frustrating if you don't know how to navigate sites in Japanese.

Having faced hurdles like these in the past ourselves, we decided there needed to be a better hub for finding these products domestically. So, we decided to start our own dedicated online store right here in the US!

We want to be part of making these items widely accessible to everyone, and with quick shipping, so you don't have to front that $20 shipping charge yourself or wait another four months for your order to get off of a freight boat. (Of course, we also offer international shipping to many countries across the globe if you just can't find that plush anywhere else!)

While you may not be able to go outside to the convenience store to get a Pikmin collaboration apple smoothie, we hope that you can feel your own kind of joy through our gifts and imports, wherever you are.

Whether you've stumbled upon our site, are an avid collector, or are just here to support a small business, thank you so much for taking the time to browse our products and read through our posts!

We'll be updating our blog frequently with gift ideas and information as new products are released and coming to our storefront. You can also follow us on social media, or subscribe to our emails to be the first to hear of the latest and upcoming toys and collectibles. Our social medias will be hosting giveaways on the 15th of each month, so be sure to enter for a chance to win!
