60 Japanese Culture Gifts
From Mangafied Vases to Sad Sushi Toys:
Katherinev123 — Dec 17, 2009 — Art & Design
If it weren’t for a friend of mine who likes to collect Hello Kitty fridge magnets, this collection of Japanese culture gifts may never have been conceived. But, the fact that he (yes, he) is Hello Kitty-obsessed, and the revelation that there are many, many others who share in his obsession—or simply love anything Japanese—has pointed me in this direction. Whether you love sushi or have a thing for Manga-themed products, this cluster of Japanese culture gifts is for you.
