A surprise package from Japan

This post is also available in : French German Italian

On Tuesday morning, Claire found this in the mailbox :

A parcel coming from Japan ! But who could have sent it to us ?

When she opened it, she found first a magnificent card with a kind message of #1, the human of the Poupounette Gang : what a charming surprise !

There was also a little tablecloth, washi tape, post-it, and tabi-socks.

The traditional tabi are made of cotton ; they have a more thick sole, of cotton too, and are not elastic. They are worn by the back, and close with metallic ties. Tabi goes with geta (wooden) or zori (rice straw).

Tabi-socks are “normal” socks of which the big toe is separated from the other toes. Claire has no zori, but she shows you how it looks like with her flip-flops.


The small tablecloth is adorable, and it has the purrfect size for the coffee table of the living room.

And the post-it…

Claire has a special bond with Japan : she’s been practicing judo for more than 25 years since she was 6 years old, loves zen spirit and Japanese art, but never visited.

Thank you so much for this lovely surprise, #1,
it made our human very happy !

    The best day is getting a package in the mail! The idea that someone was thinking of you is just as special as the contents of the parcel itself! We love all your surprises (the socks are especially fun for you since we recall you love “cat socks”! ). That was very kind and thoughtful of #1 🙂
