Art In The Pocket Hashimoto Mio Cat Carvings Vol. 2 Gachapon Capsule Collectible by Kitan Club

Art In The Pocket Hashimoto Mio Cat Carvings Vol. 2 Gachapon Capsule Collectible by Kitan Club. Highly collectible and authentic Japanese gachapon capsule containing one of five different cat figures created by Japanese woodcarving artist Hashimoto. The latest addition to the popular Art In The Pocket series. By using the artist’s own woodcarvings as the prototypes, the figures are imbued with the warmth of the cats’ movements and expressions, making them appear as if they could come to life at any moment. The lineup consists of five cats: Maman, Uni-chan, Kotetsu-kun, Chimi-chan, and Moi-kun.

Gachapon (), or Gashapon (), are highly collectible items sold randomly in capsules from Japanese vending machine. The name gachapon comes from the sound the capsule makes sounds, gacha from the sound of turning the hand-cranking action of a toy-vending machine, and pon from the sound the toy capsule makes when it lands in the collection tray. Each month a new series of Gachapon designs are released from Japanese manufacturers such as Bandai, Tomy and Koro Koro, including licensed popular characters, artist collaborations, Japanese foodstuffs, cats, and other kawaii designs. These often sell-out quickly to collectors and Gachapon enthusiasts. All our Gachapon capsules are directly imported from Japan and sold as collectible / art figurines.

There are five different cat carvings in this Gachapon series: Maman, Uni-chan, Kotetsu-kun, Chimi-chan, and Moi-kun.

Available singly (chosen at random just like a real Gachapon!) or as a full set of five. Original capsules included with all purchases.
