Very popular in Japan, the Caomaru series of stress balls created by Hokkaido-born designer Makiko Yoshida have become a favorite here at Japan Trend Shop, too, and we're always looking forward to their latest incarnation. This time, it's this Caomaru Fruit Gift Box, a set of three of the most popular "fruit" types (grapes, oranges, and strawberry) in a paulownia box in the style used in Japan for all kinds of high-quality items.
What makes the Caomaru Fruit Gift Box particularly funny is that it plays on a Japanese custom: some shops sell very expensive fruit and pack them in these kinds of boxes to make them look even more exquisite. A fine paulownia box containing fruit is, for some, the epitome of luxury. That in this case these premier "fruits" are stress relief balls with laughing faces is bound to put a smile on anyone's face!
