Junji Ito x Hello Kitty & Sanrio Friends
UPDATED: Pop-Up Shop has since opened and images (of Parco) viewable HERE!
Woke up Monday to an intriguing image showcasing what looks to be Junji Ito's character "Tomie" interacting with Hello Kitty, with my first reaction being: "Ai fanart"?
Soon to realise that this is a legit licensed collaboration between the revered Japanese horror manga artist (Features on TOYSREVIL), and Sanrio, for the purposes of a Pop-Up store opening on Japan, in Shibuya and Shinsaibashi!
Junji Ito's fictional characters interact with Sanrio's mascot characters, resulting in a mash-up of deceptively innocent looking graphics on multiple merchandise (*I don't see any toys tho :p), currently viewable online here, which includes the key visual available as a framed poster.
Stores will open from August 23rd try September 9th, 2024.
