Hello! This is Hirai.
Autumn is here, and perhaps the weather is making you feel sentimental?
At times like these, we recommend looking at a vibrantly colored rug to cheer you up!
This time, we will introduce Vivid-chan, one of the most special rugs in the store.

Let's start with the overall picture. The red of the field is vivid, and many different colors are used. When viewed from directly above, it looks like there is a square with a fountain in the middle, with many colorful houses lined up.
This looks like a certain town.

Some of you may be wondering where the house is and how hard it is to find, so I've included a close-up.
The road along the long side of the rug looks like a residential area. Triangular roofs of different colors are lined up. Perhaps there are town rules like in some European countries to maintain the vibrant scenery.
Only colorful laundry can be hung outside...
I could see the Baltan alien in the house. So that's where he lived.

We found some of the creatures that live in this town in the four corners of the fountain plaza.
In the left corner is a four-legged striped creature. Its yellow, white, and almost black body color is like "Caution! DANGER!" and it stands out even in such a colorful world.
You have to do this much to live in a vibrant town!

The right corner is the birds' territory.
As can be seen on the left, there is a giant monster-like plant growing there.
The leaves and petals have unique colors. It looks like something you'd want to eat.
Some of the birds were dressed up in orange and green, while others looked fresh and made the point that white stands out at times like these.
Both are wonderful.
Let's rest our eyes for a moment here.
Thank you to everyone who is reading this on their smartphone or PC screen.
Enjoy a leisurely meal with the sheep of Shiraz, the home of this rug.

I love sheep! I still want to see sheep!
Don't worry, though. This vibrant rug also has a soothing sheep-like feature: wool warp threads.

I also love fluffy fringe that has a sheep-like feel.
I particularly like how the thread has untwisted and looks like a brush used by skilled calligraphers before it is dipped in ink.
Finally, there is one scene from this rug that I really want to introduce.
Please take a look at the base of the giant plant with its stylish leaf veins.


A little striped baby is scolded by his long-legged orange mother.
I think this is the scene where Mama says, "You disappeared on your own in the fountain plaza, and I got worried!" Little Striped looks dejected, and there's Genie on top of his head! Could it have been Genie who found Little Striped? The story ends here, leaving us with that question.

Did the vibrant rug cheer you up a bit?
