Pre-orders Start Today for the STRICT-G x Sanui Orimono Niwaka Coin Purse Made with a Hakata Niwaka Mask Motif!

Pre-orders for six types of Niwaka coin purses made in collaboration between Sanui Orimono, a Hakata-ori company, and STRICT-G, an apparel shop that incorporates the worldview of Gundam, start at 1:00 PM (JST) on Friday, August 23rd, through the STRICT-G Online Store on Premium Bandai. They will be 2,970 JPY (tax incl.) each.

Sanui Orimono is a long-established weaving company that protects the traditions of Hakata-ori, a traditional craft with over 780 years of history, while pursuing new possibilities in the manufacture and sale of Hakata-ori products.

This collaboration has resulted in silk woven coin purses made in the motif of Niwaka masks, a half-mask used in Fukuoka's local performing art, Hakata Niwaka. The lineup includes four designs from Mobile Suit Gundam—the Gundam, Zaku II, Char, and Haro—and Suletta and Miorine from Mobile Suit Gundam THE WITCH FROM MERCURY for a total of six designs. The zipper slider has a rice scoop charm on it, expressing the essence of Hakata. Each design is full of humor and will have you chuckling when you take it out.

They will be sold at STRICT-G stores starting Saturday, August 24th, and will be sold at GUNDAM SIDE-F inside of Gundam Park Fukuoka starting in mid-September, so be sure to visit and check them out.
