Japanese-y made in Japan, or very Japanese in sensibility

Best Purse Hook Ever It's the best we've ever tried--simple, sturdy--built to hold today's ginormous purses. A fantastically useful gift! We got our first purse hook about thirty years ago (no lie) from mom who got it from Japan. It was dainty and frilly and we always used it. Then we lost it. Now purse hooks are a bit more out there and we needed a new one--this fit our utilitarian, not-so-fancy aesthetic perfectly. Silver finish, folds flat, comes with a carry case. Coming in at around 4-1/4" long, it will hold a heavy bag. Also, the hanger part pivots enough to allow the hanger to hold your bag off a table or ledge with not much clearance underneath. These things, while I see them in gift shops, are still little-seen in everyday use--I get comments constantly on mine. You will too.
Price: $20.00
Big Blue Kitty Plush From Japan, of course. Most people would have stopped at the cute big-eyed head, but nooo... they had to add a tiny body. It's big--the head is almost 14" across. Soft, sort of velour/silky towel texture.

Button-Eye Dolls Homely Dolls from Japan These are kind of a cross between an ugly doll and a string doll--charmingly weird, with button eyes, elastic band mouth, grey plush belly, and string-tied arms and legs, with a few bits of yarn hair. All on a keychain +w/ a suction cup attached. They are each around 7" tall, and just plain funny in a cartoony monster way.

Monza Space Dolls from Japan Velour funny dolls (on keychains) are more Japanese (ie, kawaii) toys. Each is about 5-1/2" tall. We have four characters/colors: pink = Dina (who's had some collagen lip work done); golden yellow = Butte (who has big teeth and a horn); green = Monky (who looks more like a retro space alien to us); and blue = Gaga (not to be confused with Lady Gaga, maybe a distant relative).
