-Shop cute Japanese products and cool products from Japan. This cute blog is about Japanese kawaii, kawaii Japan, kawaii fashion, Japanese pop culture and more. It's a kawaii blog from Japan, Japan blog in English by a Japanese girl.

Meister by Yuzawaya Shibuya branch shop has a deco booth where customers can select anything they like from 300 pairs of men’s and lady’s boxer pants and 6000 pieces of deco parts! It’s so cool they have a working space so the customers can put decoration right on site.

How about men’s deco?
Deco is not only for women. Men enjoy deco, too. (Is it only me that cannot help but find these Japanese guys at a craft shop look like herbivore men?)

Craft Depot is a deco trade website where crafters exchange their deco works, tools and materials by barter.

They compete for decoration over headphones by their original ways.

Judges are the artists from 11 different countries who have experiences as exhibitors at Tokyo Design Festa.

Kaji-san used to enjoy bling-bling decoration as a part of hobby before she became very famous for receiving custom-order from Paris Hilton.
Paris liked Kaji-san’s jewel decoration. Patricia Field is another customer of hers.
There are also several Japanese companies that try to collaborate with her to produce such as deco mirror or deco clock. Deco jewelry can be even virtual on the screen of mobile phone.

203gow-san is a superstar of crocheting. She has scored top 1 to 4 of the crochet lovers site.
She commutes to a public library from time to time to study picture books for half to a whole day long. She keeps looking at them, imagines how 3 dimensions would be, and expresses them with crochet. She has lately started making books totally made of crocheting.

Kumagai-san, the sweets deco designer uses a tooth brush to make a sort of “baked” touch. She has collaborated with a company of sweets decoration bag that was used for Shibuya Girls Collection. She made a special sweets deco mirror for CIARA in front of her.

Zumreed store offers various designs of stickers for headphones’ decoration.
It’s a cool idea that we can change the images of headphones that fit fashion or the mood of the day. In fact, the sales of headphones have increased since these stickers were available. Mobile decoration is everywhere today, but headphones decoration is still rare. That’s true!

Kumagai-san is so good at decorating fake cakes, then how about the real ones? The truth is she has never baked and decorated real ones yet! “Girls like to try everything! That’s why it’s good to put various kinds of sweets decorations on.” says Kumagai-san.

This episode is an accessory department audition, but there are more auditions from other departments such as men’s fashion, school uniform, Gothloli, etc.

203gow-san or Kumagai-san’s headphones were attractive among the foreign judges, but DJ Kaori finally voted for Kaji-san’s less-decorated headphones, and Kaji-san won the competition. She is going to participate in the fashion show in Paris.

Kirin’s opinion:

Personally I liked 203gow-san’s unique crochet headphones, but that’s only for autumn and winter. I’m so much impressed that they achieved their skills as much as to the level of making business by themselves, and everything was based on their passion and that they really liked doing that as a hobby. Not many people can be so much into something to this extent, but it’s so cool we can be so famous from something we like doing, and these people must be so happy because they can make other people happy with what they love doing. I think that’s the ideal way of life! They would do it for nothing. I mean, they would never have expected to become popular or to get paid for what they do. I just adore their passion and energy!
