The Enduring Charm of Coji-Coji
Created by the renowned manga artist Momoko Sakura, Coji-Coji is a masterpiece of fantasy and nonsense comedy. The character’s unique appeal lies in his perfectly pure existence, leading to a life lived in harmony with nature. Coji-Coji’s innocent, yet profound, statements and the distinctive world of the “Fairytale Country” where its inhabitants live their daily lives have been beautifully translated into this new line of general merchandise. The collection captures the essence of the series, offering diverse designs that allow fans to coordinate items to suit their mood and various occasions.
Coji-Coji’s philosophy is perhaps best encapsulated in his own words: “I was born Coji-Coji, and that’s what I’ll be forever and ever. Coji-Coji is Coji-Coji.”
A Closer Look at the Collection
The new lineup features a variety of items, each designed to bring a smile to fans:
Printed Handkerchiefs
These humorous 50cm x 50cm handkerchiefs, priced at 1,100 yen (tax included), depict scenes from Coji-Coji and the residents of Fairytale Country. Their designs are so engaging that you’ll want to unfold them immediately, making them perfect for wrapping your lunch or as a delightful accessory. Pay close attention to the English phrases subtly incorporated into the center of each pattern.
Smartphone & Glasses Cleaning Handkerchiefs
Available for 880 yen (tax included) and measuring approximately 20cm x 20cm, these handkerchiefs come in three classical designs inspired by the opening illustrations: “Aquarium,” “Birds and Plants,” and a daily scene from “Fairytale Country.” Made with microfiber, they are not only great for wiping hands but also convenient for cleaning smartphones and glasses. Each handkerchief features unique designs on both the front and back.
Gauze Handkerchiefs
These triple-layered gauze handkerchiefs, priced at 880 yen (tax included) and approximately 25cm x 25cm, are thin and compact yet highly absorbent. They feature two heartwarming designs: one showing Coji-Coji, Jiro, Tommy, Teruko, and Katsuboo relaxing, and another portraying Coji-Coji, Jiro, and Korosuke greeting each other. A subtle Coji-Coji embroidery in the bottom right corner adds a charming accent. These handkerchiefs offer a small moment of daily comfort for all ages.
Towel Handkerchiefs
For 880 yen (tax included), these approximately 25cm x 25cm towel handkerchiefs feature charming embroideries of Coji-Coji and other unique characters. Suitable for all ages, they make an excellent gift.
Pouches
These versatile pouches, priced at 1,650 yen (tax included) and approximately 12cm x 16cm, come in two striking designs: a bold illustration of the entire Fairytale Country from the opening and an aquarium-themed design. With a convenient back pocket, their simple yet functional design makes them ideal for carrying cosmetics compactly or organizing small items like cards and medicines.
Eco-Bags
These eco-bags, available for 2,200 yen (tax included) and measuring approximately 30cm x 27cm x 16cm, feature a zipper closure and an elastic band for compact folding. They come in two designs: one showcasing the full landscape of Fairytale Country and another scattered with its charming inhabitants, perfect for adults to use daily. They are also highly recommended as a sub-bag for travel or when you unexpectedly need extra storage.
