Three years ago, my good friend Shin initiated me into the works of Yuzo Kato (1950-2001), especially the small plastic toys he designed for Glico candies in the nineties.
A wonderful little book called TOYBOX OF GLICO (first edition in 2002) focuses on those beautiful, simple & elegant toys.
Grab one if you can!
I really love them, especially the animals & insects (beetles are amazing), if you have the chance to go to Nakano Broadway, you can find some of these little gems in one of the Mandarake shops dedicated to vintage Japanese candy toys.
