These 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 sakura charm can be attached to the string or elastic of the bookmark.
TRAVELER’S notebook “TOKYO EDITION” and its customised items are designed with a focus on Tokyo, where TRAVELER’S COMPANY is based. Walk 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). 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.
