【Pre-order】Hokusai Katsushika x Hatsune Miku - Hatsune Miku Tote Bag (door iXima; Zachte Wind, Heldere Ochtend; Heruitgave)

I kept refreshing the order page for weeks, but now that it's finally shipped, the woven print on the front captures Hokusai's wave details better than any photo on the listing. The pre-order wait felt endless, yet the bag's structured canvas and smooth zipper pull make it worth every day.

The wait until December is going to be brutal, but the pre-order window closing in August means I locked in that fine wind, clear morning print before it vanished again. iXima's artwork on a tote bag is a match made in heaven, and knowing it's a limited rerun makes the anticipation even sweeter.

The pre-order process was smooth and the dispatch date was clearly communicated, so no surprises. The tote’s front panel captures Hokusai’s wave with Miku in that iconic red-and-white scheme — it’s crisp, not muddy like some prints I’ve gotten before. I’ll be carrying this to every convention I can.
