Chikugo City-based Ikeda Kasuri Kobo debuted a ‘Ren-ai joju’ (lucky charm for love) mask in collaboration with the local Koinoki Shrine. The shinto shrine is known as the only place in Japan where Koinon-mikoto, or the god of love, is enshrined. The shrine crest is stitched on the corner of the pink and indigo-dyed masks. Both colors are available online and at shops, including a local museum, Sanshika Rekishi Koryu-kan (¥2,750/pc). Source: PR Times
