Nibankan Backpack

Backpack celebrating the bold, colorful energy of Tokyo’s legendary Nibankan building. Designed by Minoru Takeyama in 1970, this Shinjuku landmark defined the era of "Supergraphics" with its massive, hand-painted geometric facade created by artist Kiyoshi Awazu. Famous for gracing the cover of Charles Jencks' The Language of Post-Modern Architecture, the building's original design was a masterpiece of 1970s pop-art aesthetics. This item capture that lost vibrancy, featuring the iconic concentric circles and stripes that once illuminated the Tokyo skyline, making them the perfect gift for graphic designers, architects, and lovers of Japanese retro culture. Comes with a spacious inside compartment (with a pocket for your laptop), and a hidden back pocket for safekeeping your most valuable items. • Made from 100% polyester • Fabric weight: 9.56 oz/yd² (325 g/m²), weight may vary by 5% • Dimensions: 16.1″ (41 cm) in height, 12.2″ (31 cm) in width, and 5.5″ (14 cm) in diameter • Capacity: 5.3 gallons (20 l) • Max weight: 44 lbs (20 kg) • Water-resistant material • Large inside pocket with a separate pocket for a 15” laptop, a hidden pocket with zipper on the back of the bag • Top zipper has 2 sliders, and there are zipper pullers attached to each slider • Silky lining, piped inside hems, and a soft mesh back • Padded ergonomic bag straps from polyester with plastic strap regulators This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you.
