What is Disney Japan Classic?
The Disney Japan Classic series is a collection that expresses the Disney world through the splendid traditional craft techniques of Japan.♡
Everyone's Favorite Disney in Japanese Style♡
Traditional crafts from various regions of Japan collaborate with Disney's adorable characters* Here, I will introduce some of the products from Disney Japan Classic that embody elegance and the spirit of Japan within their cuteness!
Mickey-shaped Pendant Loupe♡
This pendant loupe was created by KISSO, a company in Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture that specializes in processing, wholesale, and development of eyeglasses* This pendant is crafted by repeatedly cutting, grinding, and polishing using the techniques of eyeglass manufacturing.
It comes in two colors; you can stylishly wear it as a pendant while easily reading small text!♡
Arita Ware One Soup Three Dishes Series♡
This set includes a main plate, a rice bowl, and a soup bowl, featuring traditional Arita ware designs with hidden Mickeys♡
Each piece is hand-painted, giving it a warm touch! I definitely want to add these to my home dining table♡
Room Shoes Woven with Japanese Grandmother's Wisdom♡
These knitted room shoes were born from the collaboration between a knitting factory and fabric sandal artisans♡
Designs include Mickey, Minnie, Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, and Princess Aurora♡ There are also designs for children, allowing you to match with your little ones, which is delightful!♡
Traditional Industry of Hokuriku♡ Takaoka Copperware
This wind chime of Pooh is made from brass, a product of Takaoka copperware, a traditional industry in Hokuriku♡ Being brass, it produces a clear and beautiful sound! The swaying Pooh is incredibly cute♡
This ice cream spoon is also from Takaoka copperware but made of aluminum! The carving of Olaf is very cute♡ Since it's made of aluminum, it transmits the warmth from your hand directly to the spoon, gently melting the ice cream while you eat.
The container is also very cute, shaped like an ice cream, and there’s a Pooh pattern available too♡
Diamond-shaped! Disney Princess Incense♡
Incense that expresses the image colors and scents of the princesses utilizes traditional incense-making techniques! The incense holder is beautifully shaped like a diamond*
The packaging and the illustrated insert inside are also lovely, and receiving such a cute gift would surely make anyone happy!♡
Besides Cinderella, there are options for Princess Aurora and Snow White too♡ I would love to choose my favorite incense!
Hirudani Washi Honey Pot Letter Set♡
The last item I will introduce is a letter set featuring Pooh, made from Hirudani washi! The unique texture of washi paper is truly wonderful♡
It features motifs from the original Pooh, and the honeysuckle used for washi is infused with the scent of honey!♡
Feel the Harmony! Adorable Traditional Crafts♡
The collaboration of Japan’s traditional techniques with Disney is incredibly fresh and new, creating something wonderful*
A Perfect Wedding Gift♡
