"CREATORS GIFT SHOW," featuring a selection of slightly venomous gift items, is open for a limited time on the third floor of the main building of Isetan Shinjuku. It offers a wide range of visually interesting and slightly grotesque candles, accessories, and interior objects. The shop is open until December 25th.
The candles featuring motifs of pugs and chimpanzees are from Taipei-based brand "eye candle." The lineup includes items priced around 3,000 yen, making them suitable for gifts, as well as striking candles with designs that resemble organs encased in glass jars.
"true style Lab" creates objects with eerily realistic animal expressions. Using felt and other materials, they have created a "hamster butt" (12,500 yen) and an "owl stalking its prey" (59,000 yen). The façade is also decorated with the brand's snake and sheep motifs. The creative unit "MAGUMA" offers a wide range of eye-catching items, from small gifts like fluorescent keychains (starting at ¥2,100) featuring unique motifs like goldfish to lamps that combine old and new. Enjoy items featuring motifs of body parts like fingers and hands. The Korean brand "MONDAY EDITION" offers affordable costume jewelry by plating brass. A popular item is the imitation pearl initial ring (¥6,500). Some customers even select their favorite words or the initials of someone they respect. Isetan offers exclusive items, including a necklace (¥20,000) and bracelet (¥15,000) designed with imitation pearls and a gold kihei chain. Also noteworthy are the rings and earrings remade from cutlery from various eras produced by the Aoyama vintage shop "LAILA vintage." If you look closely, you'll see that the rings and earrings make use of the decorative parts of the handles of spoons and forks. They highlight the value of unique items.
