As a big fan of all things Japanese, I was properly excited to discover it’s a big trend for Autumn/Winter this year.
In fact, it’s so huge that John Lewis are theming a whole range of Christmas decorations, wrapping paper and ornaments around it. I got a sneak preview the other day and it’s all GORGEOUS!
I’ll bring you pictures and details nearer December, but for now, a whole host of Japanese-inspired home goodies have just hit the shops.
Here are my favourites:
