Taiwanese media ETtoday News Cloud reported on the 11th about the resumption of "Imperial Palace Wallet" sales in Japan. The article quoted Japanese media reports, stating that the Imperial Palace Wallet is a genuine leather product with a chrysanthemum emblem, originally sold by the Kikuba Bunka Kyokai at shops in the Imperial Palace East Garden and other locations for about 1,000 to 5,000 yen. Following it becoming a hot topic on social media, long lines formed in front of the Imperial Palace East Garden from early morning, and confusion arose, such as long wallets originally priced around 2,000 yen being listed for up to 24 times their price, or 48,000 yen, on flea market apps. Therefore, over-the-counter sales were temporarily suspended from around December 22, 2025. To ensure fairness, it was mentioned that applications for trial sales via online lottery began on June 12, 2026. The association conveyed its appeal, saying, "We want people not just to buy, but also to see the Imperial Palace and the East Garden." (Translation/Editing by Yanagawa)
