Dive into Happiness at HAPPY CAT MARKET vol.10

Namba Marui, managed by Marui Co., Ltd. headquartered in Nakano, Tokyo, is currently hosting the 10th edition of the HAPPY CAT MARKET. Located in the 1st and 2nd floor event spaces, this lively market celebrates all things feline, featuring handmade creations from various artists dedicated to the joy of cats.

Origins of HAPPY CAT MARKET

The HAPPY CAT MARKET was born out of a collaboration formed by local handmade creators inspired by cats, debuting at the well-known Cat Week in Namba Marui. Their mission is simple and heartwarming: "Making both cats and humans happy." Over time, this initiative has expanded, participating in various cat-themed events across the Kansai region.

The current event spans two floors, each showcasing unique attractions:

- 1st Floor: Here, attendees can find premium cat food and products from four primary brands, led by ICE BEANS, specializing in quirky cat-themed goods and apparel.
- 2nd Floor: Over twenty creatives will present their unique products, along with opportunities for attendees to order custom portraits from popular illustrators. A much-anticipated Happy Cat Photo Exhibition will return, alongside a debut Happy Cats Exhibition featuring success stories from two rescue cat cafes.
