Junji Ito Pop-Up Store "Zankyou" Opens at Hakaba no Garou Nakano This Summer

The annual summer horror event at Nakano Broadway's Hakaba no Garou is back for 2026. The Junji Ito Pop-Up Store "Zankyou" in Hakaba no Garou will run from July 2 (Thursday) to August 17 (Monday), 2026, at Hakaba no Garou Nakano store and the Hakaba no Garou ONLINE STORE.

This year's theme is "Zankyou" — the echo of fear that lingers in the mind long after finishing one of Junji Ito's works. Even after closing the page, someone's scream continues to resonate deep within. The event captures that haunting aftertaste through exclusive merchandise and a special key visual drawn by Junji Ito specifically for this event.

Junji Ito has long been recognized as one of Japan's leading horror manga artists, with his name spreading worldwide as an icon of fear that transcends borders. Hakaba no Garou has hosted annual Junji Ito events, bringing his unique world into physical space at the depths of Nakano Broadway.

Lineup of Merchandise

A range of merchandise themed around the "Zankyou" event is available, including blind items and limited goods.

Tomie Mascot — ¥1,650 (tax included)

Size: W207mm x H146mm

Tomie in a blazer — as depicted in the exclusive drawn-down illustration — becomes a chibi plush mascot. Cute enough to carry around, yet infused with an allure and madness that is hard to look away from. A one-of-a-kind fan item.

Zankyou Mirror — ¥4,400 (tax included)

Size: A4 (W210mm x H297mm)

The event-exclusive drawn-down illustration appears on an actual mirror. Useful for checking your appearance, yet with an unsettling presence, as if someone is looking back from within the mirror. Late-night use is not recommended.

Tomie Metal Bookmark — ¥1,650 (tax included)

Size: W59mm x H67mm

A metal bookmark featuring the motif of Tomie. The delicate finish alongside the beautiful illustration conveys a premium feel. Tomie's calm expression peeking from between the pages adds a quiet touch of horror to reading time.

Mini Cushions (2 types) — ¥1,870 each (tax included)

Sizes: 双一 W110mm x H124mm, ギャロン W123mm x H124mm

Die-cut cushions featuring 双一 (Soichi) and his cat ギャロン (Garon) in three-dimensional form. The combination of horror illustration prints and pop coloring has an indescribable charm. Great to place on a desk and look at whenever you like, or just to hold and appreciate.

Tomie Handkerchief — ¥1,650 (tax included)

Size: W530mm x H530mm

A premium printed handkerchief featuring Tomie. The beautiful illustration and stylish coloring shine on the handkerchief itself, while the dedicated packaging — printed on both sides — also concentrates Tomie's appeal. Can also be used as a lunch cloth or bandana.

Size: Sticker overall W88mm x H55mm, individual approx. 7.5mm x 12.5mm

Luxurious nail stickers filled with unsettling motifs selected from Junji Ito's popular works. The design — with madness lurking within beauty — stands out even as a fashion item. Can be applied not just to nails but anywhere, making them ideal for fans who want to subtly showcase the Junji Ito world.

Most-Terrifying All-Star Playing Cards — ¥2,200 (tax included)

Size: W58mm x H89mm

A set of playing cards packed with the Junji Ito world, from popular works to obscure short stories. Each card features an impressive scene from the many masterpieces, making the deck itself a Junji Ito best-of collection. Suitable both for card games and fortune-telling.

Blind Mirror Stickers (10 types) — ¥660 each (tax included)

Size: Within 50mm square

Ten types of mirror stickers featuring memorable panels from Tomie, paired with memorable quotes. Mirror-finish stickers in an optimal size for casually checking your appearance. The unsettling yet beautiful design is a must for fans.

Zankyou Blind Acrylic Keychains (14 types) — ¥660 each (tax included)

Size: W30mm x H70mm

Popular characters from the Junji Ito world appear as blind acrylic keychains in 14 types. The excitement of not knowing what you will get, and the tension at the moment of opening, mirrors the experience of turning pages in a Junji Ito work.

Size: Diameter 76mm
