Aranzi Aronzo craft books and more


If you like cute kawaii inspiring crafts, Aranzi Aronzo releases wonderful sweet Japanese-styled craft books and more. On the offical webpage Aranzi Aronzo is a combination of Mr. Aranzi and Mr. Aronzo but according to Wikipedia, Aranzi Aronzo is a company run by Mrs. Saito and Ms. Yomura that produces original goods. Their catch phrase is"cute, strange, cool, silly, a little bit horrible, stupid and conmfortable".
Here is a link to the official hompage in English:
