Winnie the Pooh, Japanese Style
Winnie-the-Pooh lives in the Hundred Acre Wood, a fictitious microcosm of adulthood that’s scaled down to Christopher Robin’s size. Along with the forest’s chubby honey-eating hero, each of the main figures in A.A. Milne’s endearing and enduring classic children’s tales about Pooh Bear represents a different archetype from real life: there’s the trusty, naive sidekick Piglet; melancholy Eeyore; rambunctious Rabbit; wise old Owl; and motherly Kanga, along with her little Roo. Since the 1920s, Winnie-the-Pooh has inspired everyone from Disney to Odd Job, a Japanese studio and agency that draws from anything ‘kawaii,’ including Pooh. Via Odd Job, a group of Japanese artists AKA the Tokyo Studio Collective has created a limited-edition mini-product line that’s up for sale online for just 48 hours beginning Thursday night, or until the stuff is gone. Peep the Pooh-inspired gear right here.
