Here’s the second installment of our visit to the Hyper Japan Festival 2016. As always the festival was full of Maneki Neko welcoming everybody to the event…
Over at the Japanya stall, there were cats of every size shape and colour.
And even some masquerading as other animals like red and green frogs;
Offering something more contemporary and just as quirky was Little Moose‘s stall. Their purple acrylic Cheshire cat collection caught my eye. That’s my sister-in-law’s Christmas present sorted 🙂
And if your favourite kitties are black like Nubia then you’re in luck as you can adorn yourself with these little trinkets. Sadly my big fingers wouldn’t fit in the rings 🙁
If you prefer something in more traditional materials, there were still plenty of cats featured.
Sticking with the feline connection but more wild, Little Moose also have a collection featuring the big cats as both jewelry, bags and wallets;
Now I wonder what my colleagues would say if I walked into work with one of these bags!? They already know I’m “cat mad” so they probably would’t bat an eye 🙂
I think it’s time for some more cuteness and it sure wasn’t in short supply at this event. This next slice of cuddly cat cuteness was provided by Charming Sushi. As you can see, it seems that the cat boom has reached everywhere. Sadly it looks like all these items feature cats were part of a limited edition only available at the Hyper Japan Festival so you may not see them on their website.
As if cat jewelry and cuddly cute toys wasn’t enough we spotted some cat socks hanging around upside down just like Nubesy. I don’t think my size 10 feet would fit in them but I’m sure if they did they’d look great with my suit at work 🙂
Cats, cats and more cats!! I wish we could take them all home. Could you imagine having to dust them all though? 🙂
With the Maneki neko, the different colours signify different things; white brings good luck, pink brings love, red brings good health and purple brings good opportunities.
And even more cats!! By this point we were starting to run out of memory card space for our cameras!! 🙂
If you want to see your friends’ faces full of envy when you pull out your phone then maybe you need one of these custom covers by Suga Dust. Amongst all the hand made pieces we spotted a famous feline, Hello Kitty!!
And what’s Hyper Japan without our friends at Genki Gear with their range of t-shirts including our favourite Mr Tinky, destroyed of worlds and the Attack Kittens, plus a new line of designs, it’s time to update your collection;
One of them summed it all up for us;
That’s all from us this time. Look out for our post on this year’s Hyper Japan Christmas Market which is being held in a few months time. Another good reason to come and visit London 🙂
Thanks,
Iain

We did indeed! It was an awesome day out. 🙂
Will you be going to the Christmas Market? Maybe we’ll bump into each other there. 😀
i’m not exactly sure, but i might
If you do let us know. ^^
ok =)
Aww I missed out this year! So many kitty things! But a Christmas market? ..I’ll be in London during Christmas (hopefully) :D!
It’s towards the end of November! Hopefully we’ll get to meet you there. 😀
I love all the different Maneki Nekos. Sooo cute. I have on on my desk.
I’ve got a number of them on my Desk. 🙂
Love all the Maneki Nekos, but really want the Chesire Cat jewelry 😀
My sister said the same about that Cat Jewellery 🙂
Love those figurines!
They are adorable! Danger is you may end up buying the whole lot 😉
I would definitely need a truck to get all my bags home ?
LOL. We almost did need one xD
LOL.. Hard to resist ?
It is so awesome to see people celebrating cats in such a big way. I always thought the cat paw waving ornament was a good luck sign. I have seen it in nail bars – I now know it is a welcome sign. You learn something new every day. Looks like you are in Utopia!
It sure was! We could have easily spent both days there. 🙂
????????D
cuteness overload. I want more!
Wow, Hyper Japan looks awesome! I can’t get over all the different Maneki Neko! 🙂
