NEW Coral & Tusk × Nekomura san Collaboration Collection
Our Coral & Tusk Nekomura san Collaboration Collection is back! The popular Japanese comic "Today's Ms. Nekomura'' comes to life as embroidered linens and accessories. Each piece features original illustrations by Yoriko Hoshi with embroidered stitches drawn by Coral & Tusk designer Stephanie Housley to create this special collaboration collection.
Yoriko Hoshi's comic "Today’s Ms. Nekomura" was serialized online in July 2003, and her first book "Kyo no Nekomura-san 1" was published by Magazine House in July 2005. The main character of the comic is Nekomura Neco, a four year old cat. She was rescued by a boy when she was a kitten, then the two were separated. In an effort to reunite with the boy, Neco became a member of the housekeeper referral agency "Murata Housekeeper.” She now serves the Inugami family, a seemingly wealthy and beautiful bunch, but we soon learn they have their own internal issues. Neco works very hard with her guts and cheerful personality! The Nekomura san comic and character has become very popular throughout Japan, loved by both young and old! In April 2020 Nekomura san’s story became a television show in Japan.
An interview with Stephanie by Yoriko Hoshi is in the July issue of Casa Brutus, in Japanese. Visit casabrutus.com for the full interview.
