Eri and I went out Christmas present shopping again today - we decided to buy each other stuff in the sales instead of before Christmas. This afternoon we were in Stitch in Daikanyama, where I saw these shrink wrapped "軍手" (work gloves). Apparently they featured in the design festival in 2006 but I have never seen them anywhere for sale before. The only dissapointing thing about them is the quality of the English on the packaging, all very good save for some your/you're and there/their/they're mistakes. There were about 25 different varieties, like hiragana ones (Japanese text), Hokusai ones, Kanji ones and the other pair that I was very tempted by; measuring ones. I liked the idea of holding something in my hands and being able to measure its length at the same time! In the end though I went for these ones, which have a subway map on them. Going to prove very useful when drunk and lost, I feel! Good value for 1000円!
