“SUU” is a kimono accessory brand launched as a sister brand of the popular accessory brand Palnart Poc. The three-dimensional appearance and fine modeling that are carefully made by hand are attractive! A new collection with a motif based on bird and beast caricatures has been added to the obi fastening series that can be enjoyed by all ages. It has an attractive vintage-like color, and you can enjoy it according to your kimono or yukata.
Choju-giga (鳥獣戯画, literally “Animal Caricatures”)
This is a national treasure transmitted to Kozan-ji Temple in Ukyo-ku, Kyoto. Famous for being “the oldest manga in Japan”, the play of anthropomorphic animals is drawn with a lively brushstroke. The author is unknown, and is thought to be related to the Tendai monk’s tradition of “kokoe” (improvised caricature).
＜Playing in the water＞
The obi clip of the famous rabbit watering scene. It is the theory that these two rabbits are the same rabbit, and that they are different time projections with the same screen drawn before and after diving.
＜Catch and run＞
An excerpt of rabbits and frogs from the chasing scene depicted in the thirteenth paper. There is a theory that this chasing child might be a print of medieval children’s play of printing.
＜Frog Dengaku＞
The scene of the frog’s Dengaku drawn on the 15th paper is obi-banded. It seems that Dengaku was also one of the annual events from the Middle Ages, just like printing.
＜Sumo＞
Famous sumo scene. It reproduces details such as the fingertips of a frog and the expression of a rabbit. The frame is based on the flame from the mouth of the winning frog.
It is in a box dedicated to the bird and beast caricature collection.

Hoshinoya Tokyo, a Japanese-style inn located in Otemachi, Tokyo, will again this year host the “New Year Kabuki Stay” program, a two-day and one-night stay from January 5 to 26, 2024.
For people living in Edo, one of their New Year’s pleasures was to watch Kabuki, and it was a chic way to spend the New Year. Theatrical teahouses supported this way of enjoying Kabuki. In addition to arranging tickets to the theater, the teahouses delighted patrons by providing a complete range of services, including plot notes, tea, sweets, makunouchi box lunches, and snacks and drinks (*1). Hoshinoya Tokyo offers a stay to celebrate the New Year with hospitality similar to the theatrical teahouses of the time.
