Touhou Merchandise

Yesterday, I got a package of gifts from my friend in Japan! It’s a bunch of Touhou stuff from Reitaisai and Comiket earlier this year. It came in one of those regular white mail packets (regular except for the fact that it was a Japanese packet), but inside the packet was a gold-colored bag with the rest of the stuff inside. I took pictures with my dad’s camera, which you can see above.

There was a gold Omekashi bag, a blue Cirno plastic bag, a Maikaze music CD (well, it actually has 2 CDs), an art book, a book of lineart from the art book, a plastic rectangle thing with a picture of Cirno and a drink, a plastic Cirno keychain, a Youmu badge, and a letter. Very cool stuff. The art book is a collection of drawings and stuff from various artists, with Touhou characters wearing modern clothes. There were also some short comics in the book, apparently about Marisa starting a Gensokyo fashion show, which I guess sets up the artwork-based portion of the book (Scans can be found in a zip file here).

I still haven’t removed the Cirno keychain and Youmu badge from the plastic wrappers, but I probably will when I find some place to put them. I’ll probably put the keychain on my keys, because that’s what keychains are supposed to be for, right? Probably. Anyway, yeah… really nice stuff.
