Highly collectible and authentic Japanese gachapon capsule containing one of five reproductions of sculptures by Japanese artist Daisuke Kondo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDaisuke Kondo (born 1990) is a Japanese contemporary artist based in Tokyo, best known for his hand-carved pop sculptures and whimsical animal characters. His work explores the subtle emotional connections between people and everyday objects, often using bright colours and a hand-made aesthetic.  He primarily works with wood for his signature hand-carved sculptures, but also uses canvas, paper, and styrofoam for his paintings and vibrant drawings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGachapon (ガチャポン), or Gashapon (ガシャポン), are highly collectible items sold randomly in capsules from Japanese vending machine. The name gachapon comes from the sound the capsule makes sounds, \u003ci\u003egacha\u003c\/i\u003e from the sound of turning the hand-cranking action of a toy-vending machine, and \u003ci\u003epon\u003c\/i\u003e from the sound the toy capsule makes when it lands in the collection tray. Each month a new series of Gachapon designs are released from Japanese manufacturers such as Bandai, Tomy and Koro Koro, including licensed popular characters, artist collaborations, Japanese foodstuffs, cats, and other kawaii designs.
