Isetan stores launched a Christmas campaign featuring Finnish artist Klaus Haapaniemi on November 6th. Born from a vision of biodiversity, the campaign, which aims to protect and preserve as much of the Earth's diverse life as possible, marks its fifth anniversary this year. Haapaniemi's mystical and fantastical world has garnered many enthusiastic fans, and the original items sold during the campaign each year have proven popular. This year's theme is "Gratitude to Nature." To further promote the world of Wonder Christmas, the "Klaus Haapaniemi Collection" will be held at the Isetan Shinjuku store event space until the 11th. A popularity poll for characters drawn in previous Wonder Christmas works will be held, along with a special website featuring the making-of video for the animated movie and dioramas used in the movie. A variety of original items, including furniture, miscellaneous goods, and sweets, created in collaboration between Haapaniemi and popular brands, will also be on sale.
