Hyper Japan Part 2 - Fashion accessories, collectables and more

So, here is part 2 of my photography from Hyper Japan. This time focussing on all the wonderful fashion accessories as well as all the toys, collectibles, books and magazines I saw on my day out at the exhibition.

Where possible I have provided links to the products (just click on the pictures)


The jewellery and accessories were all so cute.















Other than fashion accessories there were plenty of other fun stalls selling all kinds of toys, collectables, books and magazines. Including lots of Totoros.

V&A Museum of Childhood

The V&A Musuem of Childhood is a great little free museum in Bethnal Green in East London.  There are all kinds of toys from the late 19th century through to the modern day as well as a small collection of clothing, furniture and other items relating to childhood from the last 100 years or so. 



Late 19th/Early 20th Century mechanical/moving toys






Puppetry circa 1900-1920



Barbie first edition [1959]


Sindy through the ages (1960s and 1980s)



The tan-tastic 1970s Dusty doll


Fairytales and myths - Cinderalla and Puck



Terrifying...




If you get a chance I thoroughly recommend you visit the V&A Museum of Childhood, it's one of London's great quirkier museums.
