A collaborative daruma of “Shirakawa Daruma” × “BEMAS JAPAN” will be sold

04.February.2018 | FASHION

An established daruma (Japanese traditional doll which brings good luck) specialized store which has been running its business since the Edo Period called, “Shirakawa Daruma Sohonpo” and Fukushima Prefecture will sell their collaborative products (the second stage of the project called “Fukushima Mono Map which introduces Fukushima’s “things, events and people”) at BEAMS JAPAN (Shinjuku, Tokyo) which introduces many kinds of Japan’s cultural items.

 

This project was started because the buyers of BEAMS JAPAN read Fukushima’s information magazine “Fukushima Map” and visited Fukushima to understand the current situation of Fukushima.

 

The products will be sold at BEAMS JAPAN’s stores and their official online shop. They are also planning to distribute “Fukushima Map” (Japanese/English) inside the stores.

 

Why not get your very own Japan-limited daruma.

    <Comment from Planner and Supervising Director GReeeeN’s 92> “I want to share my home of Okinawa with both Japan and the world. The concept of this video is one of hope. I want the appeal of basketball to merge with tons of other cultures. I’m thrilled to be able to show my own take on historical backgrounds and culture in this new way!”   <Comment from Licaxxx> “There are so many musical artists who love basketball! But when compared to overseas fans, they’re much quieter and less open about it. I’m sure they blend in pretty well courtside. (Laugh) I hope everyone enjoys wearing these fashionable original items while cheering as hard as you can!”
