kabujiro

It’s mystery bag time, this time with a bunch of stationery items!

As you may have noticed, I’ve been moving Kabujiro more towards textile goods and accessories and slowly away from prints and stickers. Due to this, it’s time to run a clearance sale on a bunch of washi tape, notepad and sticker designs!

Grab them while they’re still available, as I won’t be restocking them anytime soon!

It’s cherry blossom season!

And what better way to get into the seasonal mood than with this new ukiyo-e spring shirt!

It’s inspired by woodblock prints by Hiroshige, and I just love the way the design wraps around the body.

It’s already time for Leipzig Book Fair • Manga Comic Con this year! It really does creep up on you every year, I should start packing but instead I spent a few hours making this catalog post.

Happy my laptop could handle all 300 layers used here haha… now I just need to figure out if I can fit everything I need in my booth as well

Florals? In Spring? Groundbreaking!

My Ukiyo-e floral set is launching today, together with 30 other new enamel pin designs! The perfect valentine’s day gift, don’t you agree? 💐🌺🌸

There’s 3 peony colours, 2 different sakura pins (in gold and black plating each) and a bunch of other flowers too!

They’re based on the woodblock prints of Kono Bairei, who created amazing designs in the 1880s.

I’m launching T-shirts!

I’m so proud of these illustrations and designs! One of my goals this year was to create more traditional art / incorporate my brush skills into more of my final designs, and I think it worked really well here—

Which city is your favourite?

Will be up tomorrow together with all of my new enamel pin designs!

I’ve been busy!
I’m launching 4 new sets of enamel pins this Thursday, and here’s one or each—

The Yokai Parade will include 7 cute little creatures, two of which will glow in the dark!

We’re back with Volume two of the Ukiyo-e Birds Series, adding 7 new cute birds inspired by the woodblock prints if Kono Bairei to the mix

10 new floral pins as part of the Ukiyo-e Flowers set, in gold and black plating

And lastly 7 fruit designs inspired by Showa-era Japanese advertising and poster design.

Which set are you most excited for?
