New Merchandise Launch for Katamari Damacy in Kyoto
Prepare for an exhilarating blend of tradition and creativity as ClaN Entertainment announces the launch of a new line of
Katamari Damacy merchandise at the
Kyoto IP Bookstore starting July 23, 2026. In conjunction with the
Character Creative Collection - The 24 Seasons of Japan, this release encapsulates the essence of Japan’s changing seasons through the whimsical lens of the beloved game.
Concept Overview
The
Character Creative Collection draws on the traditional Japanese calendar known as the
24 Solar Terms, which categorize the year into 24 segments reflecting seasonal changes. The concept for this line is brilliantly summarized as: "Remix the seasons of Japan in vivid colors." For the theme, they have chosen
Hakuro, a term that signifies the deepening autumn when morning dew begins to grace the grass and flowers.
To breathe life into this theme, original artwork has been commissioned from illustrator
A-Merica, depicting the charming prince, along with his colorful friends, as they roll up objects under a clear autumn sky adorned with vibrant foliage and traditional Kyoto sweets. The warm artistic touch infuses new spirit into the classic
Katamari Damacy universe.
