A hint of Japan

Anyone that knows me, also knows that I have been an anime fan for years. Now I don't automatically love everything Japanese, but the awesome aesthetic of some items is difficult to ignore. Japanophiles prepare yourselves for some of the coolest authentic and japanese inspired goods. There will be more of this, so fear not my friends. I have you covered.

Randoseru Japanese School bag $199.00

These bags are a cultural icon in Japan, and worn by school children. They are often seen in manga and sometimes even fetishized in Hentai. First and foremost it's a nice bag with clean lines and and excellent craftsmanship. A must for hardcore fans. The red version is currently sold out on the website, but I'd keep an eye on it to come back in stock. The black version which is just as lovely is still available.

Brelli Luxury umbrellas $46.00-$59.00

These umbrellas were designed to look like traditional Japanese umbrellas. While traditional wagasa are made of washi and bamboo, these are made of more resilient plastic and are but a fraction of the price. They are also designed to biodegrade completely in a landfill for when they finally wear out. They come in a variety of colors and the grey version protects from UV rays and doubles as a parasol. 

Decole Metal Bookmark Ruler  $6.00

Decole is a Japanese brand that produces alot of cute functional items. These are stainless steel rulers that can be easily used to mark your place in a book or to hold a stack of papers together. I want one already.
