Celebrate Ito Yokado Day!
August 10 marks a special occasion as it is designated as "Ito Yokado Day". This event was inspired by the company’s logo featuring a dove, where the date is read as "Hato" (Dove) in a clever play on words. Officially recognized by the Japan Anniversary Association since 2017, this annual celebration aims to encourage customers to feel a closer connection with Ito Yokado.
Beginning August 5, the company will launch 18 original products adorned with the dove logo, available exclusively during this festive time. The product range is designed to enhance daily lives, focusing on functionality and aesthetics in categories like stationery and lifestyle goods.
Among the highlights is a smooth-writing retractable pen created in collaboration with Mitsubishi Pencil's Uni-ball brand. Additionally, there are items such as dishes, towels, slippers featuring the dove pattern, and a stainless steel ice pack to keep you cool during hot summer days.
Adding a playful touch, customers can also find keychains featuring a Cupid with the Ito Yokado happi coat and a unique sticker set inspired by the store’s official character, Hatoson Detective Team.
