Cakes, macaroons, cookies, and chocolate…..Do you like sweets? Maybe many people will answer “yes”. So, do you want to be surrounded by such pretty sweets everyday? If your answer was “yes” again, you should pay attention this time much more than before!

Today, we’ll introduce you to “Sweets Deco.” This means “people decorate many things with pretty sweets.” Of course we don’t decorate with real sweets but the parts are made by resined clay and they look like real ones! The glue is silicone and this serves as whipped cream. Decoration artists make full use of those sweets parts, silicone whipped cream, and colored sauce to make wonderful sweets goods! They give many women a lot of dreams. Have you ever dreamed of living in the house made of sweets in “Hansel and Gretal” ? Although you can’t live in that house, you can spend happy days surrounded by many pretty sweets.

They make and sell “sweets decoden”(=decorated cell phones), sweets straps, sweets keyrings, DSi/DS Lite covers, iPod covers, accessories cases, compact ashtrays, mirrors, necklaces, bracelets and so on.

iPhone is such an important gadget that you can’t go out without it, can you? When you use it outdoor in winter, your hands must be numb with cold but you can’t manipulate your iPhone with gloved fingers. This glove “Touch finger” solves the problem.


The glove has small holes at the middle of each finger. You can get out your fingers from these holes quickly, and touch the iPhone panel. Yeah, it’s a cool idea!

In fact, it is surprising that many fingers come out from the glove, it looks like a creature. With this glove, you will use iPhone comfortably during the winter anyway.

The stretch yarn made by Toray is superior in quality. The latest knitting machine of this glove is made by SHIMA SEIKI which is well known by WHOLEGARMENT. You will be comfortable wearing the glove.

Mt.Fuji and sakura, both of the symbols of Japan, are painted on the USB drives with lacquer.

“Urushi” means lacquer in Japan. Lacquer has been used in Japan for 9,000 years to coat various goods such as combs, bowls and furniture. There are many kinds of lacquered items in Japan.


Of course, these USB drives are painted by well-trained craftsmen with advanced techniques. If you see the real one, you may be surprised by its fineness.

I think it is a little too gorgeous to use everyday. If you agree, there are also plain types available. The plain types are stoic and you can enjoy the beauty of the simple lacquer.

Lacquered goods become a good texture when you use them. I hope you can age it well.:-)

All the exteriors of this keyboard are made of natural solid wood. The keyboard is only painted in the urethane; it changes across the ages into a deep color. You can wipe it clean with a damp cloth when it is dirty. You can choose maple or walnut.

All of the keytops used for one keyboard are chipped off one board so the grains of each keytop are beautifully displayed.

The keytop labels are carefully marked with lasers one by one. Therefore, the labels don’t disappear.

The peculiar, gentle touch wins popularity; the keyboards continue to be in short supply. Hurry to get one!
