Collaboration with Asakusa's Long-Established 'Honpindo'
Mobile Suit Gundam, set in a universe depicting grand stories, has partnered with Asakusa's long-established 'Honpindo' to introduce a new katazome collection. 'Honpindo' is a brand that expresses Japan's traditional beauty through the skilled craft of katazome by artisans. This collection, appealing to Gundam fans and traditional craft enthusiasts alike, includes items themed around Gundam, Char's Zaku II, and Haro.
Diverse Item Lineup
The collection includes items like 'omamori bukuro,' 'gosaibukuro,' and 'hon-nui small zabuton Haro.' The 'omamori bukuro' is a modern twist on the amulet pouches used during the Edo period, small yet able to store valuables. The 'gosaibukuro' is useful as a bag for carrying belongings together or as an inner pouch. The 'hon-nui small zabuton' features a Haro design, with 100% cotton fabric and filling, crafted authentically by artisans.
Pre-Order Sales and Product Details
This captivating collection began pre-order sales at the 'STRICT-G Online Store' from October 16, 2026. Pre-orders are accepted until November 1, and deliveries are scheduled for mid-November. Additionally, from October 24, general sales will start at various 'STRICT-G' stores.
This collection, merging Mobile Suit Gundam with Japanese traditional crafts, undoubtedly offers new value to fans. Items featuring Gundam characters expressed through traditional katazome truly represent a crossover of cultures.
