About This Collection
These four items share a common thread: they all come from Japan’s tradition of shokugan, or candy-toy collectibles, where snacks are sold alongside trading cards and small figures. From shonen anime giants like My Hero Academia and One Piece to the newer game-based fandom of Twisted Wonderland, each piece reflects a slice of contemporary Japanese fan culture.
