The Fuwafu Wa Collection: A Closer Look
Chirimen Gamaguchi Pouch (Large)
This pouch is a prime example of the collection’s charm. Its design features a repeating pattern of Kirby alongside wagashi like taiyaki and dango, all rendered in a soft, pastel palette. The gamaguchi (a traditional Japanese coin purse with a clasp opening) design allows the pouch to open wide, making it surprisingly spacious and convenient for storing makeup or pens. Its dimensions are 8cm x 16.5cm x 8cm, and it is made from polyester.
Chirimen Gamaguchi Pouch (Small)
A more compact version, this small gamaguchi pouch is ideal for coins or tiny essentials. Despite the growing trend of cashless payments, its adorable design featuring Kirby and wagashi might just make you want to reach for coins more often. It measures 9.5cm x 9cm x 0.9cm and is also made from polyester.
Chirimen Inkan Case
Even an item as formal as an inkan (personal seal, commonly used in Japan instead of a signature) case gets a charming makeover. This chirimen inkan case transforms a traditionally serious item into something utterly lovable. Its design might make you want to use your inkan more often just to show off its cuteness! It measures 5cm x 11.5cm x 1.5cm and is made of polyester.
Chirimen Tissue Pouch
Combining a tissue holder with a small compartment for other items, this tissue pouch is both practical and adorable. The vibrant yet subdued Japanese patterns on the chirimen fabric create a calming, elegant design that is sure to bring a smile. This charming item would also make a thoughtful souvenir for international visitors. It measures 9.5cm x 13.5cm x 3cm and is made of polyester.
This collection offers a fresh and unique combination of traditional Japanese design and the beloved Kirby. The soft texture of chirimen and the whimsical illustrations of Kirby enjoying wagashi create items that are not only functional but also deeply comforting and aesthetically pleasing.
