Hyogo-based online boutique Ant Design Store specializes in the kind of painfully hip American and European imports that smug Tokyoites assumed you could only get in the capital. Wrong! Surfing through the selections on offer gives us little shivers of pleasure at every turn, whether it’s from Kikkerland’s Mona Lisa Clock (¥4,200), Norman Copenhagen’s Rocking Tumbler (¥3,360 for four) or the Accoutrements Edgar Allen Poe and Albert Einstein action figures (¥2,100 each). We particularly like the random categories, which include familiar staples like “For Mom” and “For Dad,” but also “For Eco” and “For Me!” Free shipping for orders over ¥10,500.
