Amy Duong — January 19, 2024 — Art & Design
Japanese retail brand MUJI released a limited edition collection of traditional Japanese Fortune Cans just ahead of the upcoming Lunar New Year. There are 8 cans in total and it features dragon-inspired Fukukan charms that reign from different Japanese regions. Each one is designed to its respective style with a playful way to unveil a hidden meaning and story.
The special Fortune Cans are available to shop online and in-store locations with each charm coming with its own story. For example, the Shitakawara Clay Doll Dragon from Hirosaki City, Aomori Prefecture "originated from the
Tsugaru region is a location known for the production of everyday ceramics. These are widely recognized as lucky charms representing the area."
