200-year-old sake brewery teams up with Final Fantasy’s legendary designer for a very special crossover.
With its original design of a red-clad female ninja, this shamisen is set to become the collector’s item of the year.
A gorgeous take on the character that’s worlds apart from the Disney version, and can be read in English or Japanese.
Around the world, 15 July is Prime Day over at the online retailer Amazon. This is the day when members of their subscription service Amazon Prime get in on one big sale that they claim is as big as it gets.
And it certainly is looking big, according to a sneak peak of four items that will be on sale come Prime Day. One of them is a set of 12 original works by Final Fantasy artist Yoshitaka Amano valued at 260,000,000 yen (US$2,150,000) on every day except Prime Day!
