i want to make sculptures of pot bellied women with big hair

this is going to be another super quick post but i am obsessed with this japanese online shop called 密買東京 (mitsubai tokyo). they sell a small and strange selection of stuff, all of which are made in japan and super random, ranging from ceramics, bags and books to kimonos and 8000dollar sushi tables. all the items come with a pretty lengthy description (very personal too, almost like blog posts) so u can really get to understand the ideas behind them...and also get a sense of the effort and love that the buyers put into selecting them

i often find myself taking photos of faded or cracked walls so this book immediately caught my eye
"book of walls"












and i am in looooooooove with these earth bags by writtenafterwards (really interesting label worth checking out). the backpack is crazy no? they are made of leather so theyre a bit expensive but im hoping i can save up for the smaller handbag





they also sell anrealage's infamous gold button jacket from a few seasons ago, manga sound effect rings, cute paintcoated shoes, stuffed toy chandeliers, uneven bookshelves and other weird things

Great article you got here. I'd like to read a bit more concerning that matter.
BTW look at the design I've made myself Russian escorts

Ooooh the globe backpack is gorgeous...if I owned it I'd probably hug it all the time and try to spin it round like an actual globe.

i got that eastpak backpack for like 200dollars on internet auction but it didnt really fit into my wardrobe so i sold it just last week for like 250dollars. im sure if u keep searching on ebay or something they'll come up...ive seen a black one go for like 600dollars before...ridiculous
