The Christmas season is upon us. Have you decided on your gifts yet? At the Salon de Shimaji Select Shop corner, we have a selection of items perfect for Christmas gifts. Among them, how about a snow globe, which is perfect for this time of year?

Snow globe: 2,160 yen

Shimaji: "This is a snow globe with me inside, wearing my Smokin' King jacket. The snow is finer than in a regular snow globe, so it looks beautiful when it swirls around."

Snow globes were originally used as paperweights. Now, they're famous as collector's items worldwide. While many feature famous landmarks from around the world, those depicting individuals are quite rare. Perhaps this is a rare item…!?


Shimaji: "Watching the fine snow fall is somehow very calming. I hope you can find some calming effects too. My motto is, 'Looks are attractive, but inside is real ability,' and in this case, the inside is me, Shimaji!"

Drawn in by its unique appearance, Shimaji's personality, and above all, the stylized image of Shimaji smiling sweetly with a pipe in hand amidst falling snow, this snow globe is irresistible. While you can't come to the salon, raise a glass with Shimaji in the snow globe! Why not let the adorable Shimaji soothe your soul?

Also, Mr. Shimaji is scheduled to visit us as a bartender on Christmas Eve, Sunday, December 24th. Whether you have plans or not, please come to the salon and spend a fun Christmas Eve with Mr. Shimaji. All of our staff look forward to your visit.
