Welcome to Tokyo Wani Department’s “Alice in Matsuri-Land” Wicker World
アリスの迷い込んだ世界はハートの女王に支配されたお祭りの国だった「東京わにデパート」展 @ 伊勢丹新宿
Tokyo Wani Department is back this time with an installation in Isetan Dept Store on the 2nd floor at the Girls’ Gallery Space (right at the top of the escalator). Many of you will be excited to hear the theme: “Alice in Matsuri-Land”.
“Matsuri” means festival, so this is a collision of Carrol’s British dreamscape and a Japanese party. As for the Alice world we love? There’s a giant mushroom table, mirror mazes with half-painted flowers, card deck headbands and teacup “lanterns”. Then there are chocolate-covered banana and grilled corn headbands, gold fish brooches, card deck “fireworks” displays, and a giant squid for the Japanese “festival” side.

そう。これはルイスキャロルの描いた「英国風夢の風景」
Tokyo Wani Department are an art duo who use mostly wicker in the creative accessories, furniture and display items they sell. “Wani” means wicker, but the way that they spell it in Japanese “katakana” kind of makes it look like “Alligator”. Well, either way it’s quite a unique name.
I ran into them once at an industry trade show called “ROOMS” in Tokyo and was astounded at their creative headpieces, like a glazed chicken, pancakes with syrup, and an apple slice with a fork (that I wore during Tokyo Fashion Week).

They’re taking orders for pretty much everything on display that will be custom-made. And check out the display until Aug 8th.
ワニはディスプレイのほとんどをオーダーメイドで受注している。それから伊勢丹での作品展の公開は8月8日までだから、
「おじょうさん、お面はいらんかね。」森の中でアリスが出くわしたのは、大きなキノコの上に乗った、イモムシではなく、イカでした。
“Hi young lady, do you need a mask?” said the creature in the forest atop a giant mushroom. He wasn’t a caterpillar though, instead he was a giant squid.
森を歩いてたどり着いた、3月ウサギの家の前では、「おまつりティーパーティー」が開かれていました。大きな帽子のテーブルに、ティーカップの提灯がこうこうと明るく、あんずあめや綿菓子、かき氷なんかが踊っています。時計はずっと、お茶の時間の6時をさしているので、おまつりティーパーティーには終わりがありません。
After wandering the forest, Alice came upon the March Rabbit’s house. In front there was a “Matsuri Tea Party” going on. On top of a giant hat that was being used as a table, the teacup lanterns lit up dancing cotton candy, apricot desserts and shaved ice. The big clock is always stuck at 6 o’ clock tea time, so this party will never have an end.
