These adorable brass charms feature taiyaki, a classic Tokyo snack, and sakura, which bloom in various parts of Tokyo in Spring. The taiyaki charm can be attached to the elastic of the TRAVELER’S notebook so that it can slide around the band. The sakura charm can be attached to the string of the page marker or elastic of the bookmarker.
This listing is for the brass charms, the other accessories: blank refill, stickers, postcards, and pen are sold individually this year.
Imagine walking through the downtown area dotted with sumo stables, take a bath at bathhouses called “sento” when you get tired, and drink a glass of “chuhai” (a Japanese liquor with soda), at an “Izakaya” (a Japanese pub)... you then cross the river where houseboats float by and you will be greeted by a temple with a history of over 1,000 years. If you get off at a station on the Yamanote line or subway, you will see a cityscape of skyscrapers, a scramble crossing filled with people, and the iconic tower rising like symbol of the city. Sushi, ramen, “anmitsu” (a kind of Japanese dessert), “cream soda” (melon soda float), and “taiyaki” (a fish shaped cake with filling inside). They are all part of Tokyo’s everyday life and, at the same time, they are Tokyo’s sights and specialties that appeal to travelers as well.
It's all about perspective...even when walking through the same town, a traveler and a person who lives there may have different views. When local residents imagine the perspectives of travelers and travelers imagine the perspectives of local residents, the depth of the town’s scenery becomes deeper and travelers can enjoy the town as if they were walking through TRAVELER’S TOWN.
Holding TRAVELER’S notebook “TOKYO EDITION” in your hands, you will walk around Tokyo as if you are a traveler visiting the city as a local.
Perhaps the next TRAVELER’S notebook may appear in your town?
