Don't you yearn for traditional Japanese lifestyles and a charming everyday life?
Nowadays, more and more people are moving from cities to rural areas.
Over the past few years, people have been confused by major changes such as "work style reform" and "staying at home," but it seems that these changes have also given them an opportunity to reevaluate their lifestyles. Shifting from stylish apartment living to a life in the countryside is something everyone aspires to.
Even if you can't go that drastic, wouldn't it be great if you could easily experience that relaxing atmosphere you get from an old Japanese house with just a little ingenuity?
Take your life to the next level by using "Japanese accessories" that evoke the good old days of Japan!
Why not take a break from your busy everyday life and immerse yourself in the careful Japanese way of life?
There is such a thing as "Japaneseness": a tasteful lifestyle.
What comes to mind when you hear the word "wa"?
Embroidery with stylish and cool motifs such as tigers and dragons, as well as powerful ink paintings that look like they could come to life at any moment.
I think many people also imagine traditional Japanese culture such as kimonos, martial arts, and tea ceremony.
This time, we will introduce some items that are a little more familiar, heartwarming , and nostalgic . 
[Japanese Pattern Textile 16-Stem Long Umbrella - ORIZURU]
[Japanese Pattern Textile 16-Piece Long Umbrella - PAPER PLANES]
This is a colorful Japanese umbrella with origami cranes and paper airplanes painted all over it.
"Origami" - I'm sure everyone has made it at least once as a child. Origami has recently gained a lot of attention overseas and is widely loved, as it is believed to foster personal growth by sharing and communicating with various people through origami . It seems like it could enrich your soul even on a gloomy rainy day.
Next, how about a beckoning cat ? You probably imagine them lined up on a counter in a shop. But you might be a little hesitant to incorporate them into your daily life. That's why we'd like to introduce you to this! 
[Japanese lucky charm motif: Cat capis tray - Maneki-neko]
While retaining the good qualities of the traditional Maneki-neko, the design is casual and approachable . Even when displayed as a figurine, it is very cute and easily blends into the interior. Also, goods with a Maneki-neko motif will give you a warm feeling every time you see them in your daily life.
Both "origami" and "beckoning cats" are traditional Japanese items, yet somehow they are also friendly and cute .
Why not try incorporating these Japanese goods into your daily life and spend time surrounded by them , so that when you see them you can take a break from your tense daily life?
Cute Japanese cats! Soothing goods
Introducing miscellaneous goods with a Japanese cat motif that cat lovers will love!
Japanese cats (Wa-neko) are famous for being the model for the Maneki-neko (beckoning cat) and calico cats, but there are also cats with a variety of other coat colors. They are divided into six types based on the color and pattern of their coat. There are white cats, black cats, tabby cats, tortoiseshell cats, spotted cats, and calico cats, and their characteristics include a "round face with a straight nose," "short hair on the ears and whole body," and "a wide variety of coat colors." Personally, I just can't get enough of their "plump faces" and "round eyes" ♡
Some people say that cats are hard to get close to and cold, but no, that's not true! In fact, they're all very affectionate, compassionate, and kind. Their occasional tsundere side may lead to misunderstandings, but that's what makes them so lovable and cute .
Why not relax surrounded by items filled with the charm of cats ? Here are my top recommended cat items!

Carry Japanese style with you in style!
I'm happy to say that there are surprisingly many people who say they "like Japanese things" or "like Japanese patterns." In fact, there are many people around me, and we often get into lively discussions about Japanese patterns, and at those times, I always hear the following concerns:
"I love cosplay, but I can't cosplay on a regular basis..."
"I wish I could have fun at work or school without standing out."
That's right! It's something that Japanese people have in common.
While it may be enjoyable in an environment where a certain degree of freedom in fashion is permitted, it is quite a high hurdle in an office or as a student.
That's when I noticed umbrellas !!
What do you think? Even if you use an umbrella with a Japanese pattern , it won't interfere with your work, right?
I don't think there are any school rules that prohibit umbrellas with Japanese patterns. On the contrary, I think they look stylish when paired with a suit or uniform. What's more, the "glamour" and "attention" you get when you use one will make you feel comfortable and proud!
I noticed this on a rainy day, and I was surprised to see how many people still use plastic umbrellas. They're cheap and disposable, so even if yours gets stolen, it's less of a shock.
But that seems a little lonely, or rather boring. If you're going to carry it around , why not get something you love ? I used to find rainy days depressing and disliked them. But now, I kind of look forward to them. I've got my favorite umbrella and it's ready by the entrance! I've started to pay attention to the weather forecast and eagerly await the need to bring out my umbrella, and I've started to enjoy rainy days.
When I walk around with a Japanese-patterned umbrella , there's a good chance people will turn around and say, "How lovely!" I feel a sense of superiority, but I also mutter to myself, "That's right! It's wonderful!" and feel like skipping around in the rain, making for a great rainy day.
Here are my recommended "Japanese pattern umbrellas"!
