Akabeko
Exclusively made for Monocle by Japanese artisanal brand Nozawa-Mingei, these Akabeko cow toys hail from Aizu, Fukushima. Traditionally they are painted in red but these handmade iterations have light pink, dark brown and off-white colourways. Created as good-luck charms, gifts or display items, the head will bob up and down if pressed.
It all began when Minako Hayakawa, CEO of Japanese artisanal brand Nozawa-Mingei, popped into our Tokyo shop. What started as a conversation turned into a collaboration and today Monocle is proud to be partnering with Nozawa-Mingei for an exclusive range of Akabeko cow toys. Based in Aizu, Fukushima, Nozawa-Mingei is a proud purveyor of Japanese craft traditions.

Founded by Japanese fashion designer Satoshi Mizutani in 2018, Bodhi sources Mongolian cashmere to craft timelessly stylish pieces from cosy knee socks and gloves to jumpers, cardigans and trousers. Opting for a range of understated colours, Bodhi’s focus is on making use of cashmere’s naturally soft, luxuriously lightweight properties – without a trace of synthetic fabric.
