(Headquarters: Nakatsugawa City, Gifu Prefecture, Representative Director: Masaru Sato), is collaborating with Junji Ito, whose original works captivate readers both domestically and
internationally. It will be released from Friday, October 11, 2024. WEEK END, founded in 2019, has attracted attention for its aroma diffuser, a product that allows you to enjoy scents, developed by combining a unique ventilation mechanism with traditional Japanese technology, and provides home appliances that pursue functionality and comfort. I am. For this collection, we selected “Tomie” as the theme from the works of Junji Ito, one of Japan’s leading horror manga artists, and we have an aroma diffuser engraved with the facial expression of Tomie, a peerless beauty, and a demonic image of Tomie. We have created an original aroma oil “Temptation of Tomie” that expresses the charm. The blend, which was completed with Mr. Ito’s cooperation, has a characteristic sweet liqueur-like scent, and offers a new experience that allows you to feel the world of Tomie through your sense of smell. ■Product overview AROMA DIFFUSER “JUNJI ITO EDITION” External dimensions: Diameter approx. 90mm x Height approx. 65mm (body) Mass: Approximately 300g (including aroma plate) Battery used: Lithium ion rechargeable battery (3.7V 3000mAh) Accessories: Aroma plate, USB cable (Type-C to Type-C), instruction manual Suggested retail price: ¥30,800 (tax included) Release date: Friday, October 11, 2024

This was my first time working on a scent, and it’s an addictive scent that fits perfectly with the name “Temptation of Tomie.” The aroma diffuser by WEEK END, who proposed this project, doesn’t look like a home appliance at first glance, but when you pick it up, you can feel the attention to detail. Please look forward to it! ■Comments from WEEK END representative Yu Sato It is a great pleasure to be able to collaborate with Professor Junji Ito, who is from Nakatsugawa City, Gifu Prefecture, where we are based. Please enjoy this special collection that pays homage to Mr. Ito, who continues to fascinate people all over the world and has left a huge mark on manga culture. ■“JUNJI ITO EXHIBITION ENCHANTMENT” event overview

After graduating from high school, he enrolled in a dental technician school and got a job, but when Monthly Halloween (Asahi Sonorama) created the Umezu Award for New Manga, he started posting his work in hopes that Mr. Umezu would read it. In 1986, he received an honorable mention for his submission “Tomie.” This work will be his debut work and his masterpiece. Three years later, he quit his job as a dental technician and focused on his manga career. He went on to create masterpieces such as “Roadless Town”, “Hanging Balloon”, “Souichi” series, and “Love with Death”. “Uzumaki” began serialization in “Big Comic Spirits” (Shogakukan) in 1998. Since then, he has continued to release unique works such as “Gyo” and “Mudan.” At the Eisner Awards in the United States, one of the most prestigious manga awards in the world, in 2019 “Junji Ito Masterpiece Collection Volume 10 Frankenstein” (English version) won the “Best Comic Adaptation Award”, and in 2021 It has won the same award in two categories in quick succession in 2022, making it a total of four times in total.
