Schadenfreude Daruma and Kokeshi Sake

I continue to have a thing for daruma dolls.  Again, paired with my thing for kokeshi dolls, a 菰樽/飾り樽 sake barrel set of daruma (no eyes, one eye, both eyes filled) and kokeshi (again with the stacking!) art- assemble your stacks to make the dolls you want, for celebrating the New Year at Okinawa New Year Festival.  The HUD will work with other sake barrels, so while the pyramids aren't in this set, replaced by the taller stacks, you can still apply them either direction if you have other sets.  Set doll versions ("set" button below each) are provided for each kokeshi, plus the random mix and choose each piece specifically.  1 to 2 LI each at about a standard 4-to 72 liter size of about .65 meters tall barrel, with extra shading options to choose from if you are picky in how you stack!  (There are versions of top and side shadow boxed so you can stack them on top of each other or next to each other and keep the shading they have in the particular stacks also.)

Plus a sake set to match the daruma barrels, bottle open and still sealed, cups full and empty.  Touch rezzed cups and versions of the bottles to change the eyes, or other versions of the bottles to get a drink.

At Okinawa New Year Festival until January 11!

Schadenfreude Year of the Tiger Sake Barrels and Kagami Cat

Happy year of the tiger!  Japonica is celebrating the new year, and a cat has taken the place of the mochi in my kagami mochi this year.  The cat comes in or out of the tray, with an orange on the head, the offering tray 三宝 and paper, together and separately are also included, 1 LI each piece.

And a new set of 菰樽/飾り樽 sake barrels decorated for the new year, with a maneki neko and a tiger version, a kumade (rake decorated with lucky symbols to rake in luck) in normal and tiger version, zodiac clay bell, and a haruko no tora (a traditional papier-mâché tiger of Kagawa Prefecture).  Stacks and single barrels, 1 to 2 LI each at about a standard 4-to 72 liter size of about .65 meters tall barrel, with extra shading options to choose from if you are picky in how you stack!  (There are versions of top and side shadow boxed so you can stack them on top of each other or next to each other and keep the shading they have in the particular stacks also.)  HUD texture all to your desires- set them all the same, choose individual labels to texture to exactly what you want, or let it randomize them for you with the mix button.  You can also mix HUDs from other sake barrel sets for more options, even in the same stack.

At Japonica, open December 25 at 8am SLT - January 23 at 8am SLT.

Schadenfreude Castlereagh Deer Heads and Frame

Fauxidermy deer heads at Okinawa Christmas Festival, with frames to use alone or highlight their mounting.  with 22 texture options: wood, silver, gold, rose gold, and a rainbow (and pastel rainbow) of plastics.  The deer heads can be changed with the entire head the same option, or mix the head, antlers, and each eye to options you choose.  The deer heads come plain in every pack, plus decorated options for Christmas.  The holly bedecked version has two little pieces of holly attached- each side is also included separately, and you can unlink holly to use it for decorations elsewhere as well if you desire. The ornaments version has 6 ornaments hanging off the antlers, each can be changed independently to your choice of shiny and matte-er ornaments in an assortment of colors.  The fairy lights version has a few solid bulbs (red, green, yellow, blue, and purple), alternating color bulbs, and a multi string to choose from, and can be set to all be solidly lit, off, or two different blinking modes.  The candles can be individually lit and extinguished, with the ability to set your own lighting settings which will be remembered.  There is a candelabra with 8 candles, and a menorah style with an extra candle in the center on the head, as usual my menorahs are entirely non traditional.  Hanukkah was quite early this year so it has already passed, but for future years!  All are 1 LI each, with the exception of the candle holding versions- those are each 2 LI.

The frames come in 3 versions: an open version for highlighting other wall hangings (like the deer head), an open neon version with a light halo from the neon lights hidden at the base, and a closed version with a scratched antique mirror or to hold your own picture.

All to be found at the Okinawa Christmas Festival, until December 25.  The Winter Festival continues with a New Year Festival later.
