A 180cm-long “chub mackerel” cushion will be sold at Village Vanguard Online
22.January.2018 | FASHION
“Don’t you think it would be great fun to use a cushion shaped like a chub mackerel which looks smelly inside your room?” This product was created based on such an idea.
The huge chub mackerel cushion cover produced by the project “MOCOLLE” which commoditizes many fun products, will be sold at Village Vanguard Online.
The length of this cushion cover is 180cm.
Chub mackerel can be divided into three types, common mackerel, southern mackerel and Pacific mackerel and they decided to use the motif of the common mackerel.
They say that they created this product through a trial and error process to print the gradation of the belly nicely. Since mackerel does not have squama, they put much effort into printing the common mackerel precisely.
It is recommended that you put clothes you are not using inside the cushion cover so that you can use it as a huggable pillow.
Don’t miss this chance to get this unique cushion cover.
If you have this common mackerel cushion lying around in your room you will for sure never feel lonely, even if you are living alone.
Kyodai Saba no Cushion Cover
6,264 yen(tax included)

Shogi Rucksack Now Available for Pre-Order at Village Vanguard
22.July.2018 | FASHION
Village Vanguard is now taking pre-orders for their shogi backpacks.
Shogi is often referred to as ‘Japanese chess.’ Japan is currently undergoing a shogi boom. The anime series March Comes in Like a Lion, which finished airing in March this year, follows the story of Rei Kiriyama, a 17-year-old professional shogi player. The two-season series became a hit in Japan and overseas, even getting a live action adaptation.
Sota Fujii is a 15-year-old high school student in Japan who made headlines for becoming the youngest person to achieve professional status as ranked by the Japan Shogi Association. He is currently ranked 7-dan.
Thanks to anime fans and budding young shogi players, the scene is gaining much attention with males and females of all ages. Now they can express their love for the game by wearing this backpack.
The bag comes with a pouch reading Oushou (王将), or ‘King,’ one of the shogi pieces. You can stow away all of your shogi pieces inside for easy access if a new opponent appears.
The bag is also perfect for mirushou, a rapidly growing population of shogi fans who like to watch shogi games but don’t play and don’t necessarily know the rules.
The bag can be used for carrying bigger items too, whether they’re related to shogi or not. They’re great for day-trips, overnight stays or as a souvenir from Japan!
If you’re a fan of shogi or know someone who is, then look no further for a present than this!
