BlackBook Toy is about to release the NekoFukurou Shibuya sofubi (6”) from Jeff Soto. The new edition of the cat/owl two-faced stacking toy was inspired by the artist’s impression of Tokyo during his first visit in 2011. Perhaps our favorite NekoFukurou so far, Shibuya features a powerful force-of-nature design with black + blue sprays recalling dark skies or perhaps sky + ever-present steel. Shibuya is capped off by striking lavender eyes—similar in shade to the iconic Cherry Blossoms—a somewhat unexpected choice that works really well.
NekoFukurou Shibuya drops on Friday, July 31st 2015 at 8 PM PDT at 8100 yen ($65) via BlackBook Toy’s online shop.
