Taiyaki Bookmark

Regular price $36.40 USD
Shipping calculated at checkout.

Taiyaki is the fish-shaped cake sold warm at Japanese festivals and street corners. The shape is a sea bream, a fish long tied in Japan to celebration and good fortune. As a bookmark, it carries a little of that warmth into whatever you're reading.

  • Fine detail. Scales, fins, and crisp edges caught in careful relief, finished by hand.
  • Made from resin. Sturdy enough to slip in and out of a book every day.
  • Slim between pages. 13 × 7 cm, sculpted with real depth but thin enough that the spine barely feels it.
  • Ribbon marker. Attached at the tail to find your page at a glance.
  • Suits any book. Novels, planners, journals, notebooks.

Made in Tokyo by Nagao Shokken, one of Japan's food-sample makers. These are the artisans behind the hyper-real plastic dishes displayed in restaurant windows, and that same precision goes into the taiyaki too.

A small, cheerful thing that makes picking up your book feel like a treat.
