Only in Japan is there a store dedicated to all things wicker – Tokyo Wani Department Store. It sounds like a Floridian retirement home times ten. Anywho, I went on their website and everything was in Japanese, so I’ll make up stuff like usual. One thing that they nailed down in wicker is hats! Because everyone wants a damn basket on their head! In true WTF Japanese style, they made a chicken and cake hat, eggs and ham hat, pancakes and strawberry hats. Honestly, some of them don’t even look like food. Wicker falls in the same category as macramé to me. Outdated and FUG. Wait till a cat jumps on their heads and starts scratching away. It’s not fun and games, anymore, is it!?
