We asked 12 enthusiasts from around the country about the real charm of Ijpigi.

Yamada: I love it. It is always in my bag, and it is one of my must-haves when I travel to Hawaii every year. I have four of them now. There are so many color variations, so I just want to collect them all.

Yamada: I go for 4 nights and 6 days or so, so I usually have about 3 bottles. They are really useful because they are lightweight and don't break even if you pop them in a rough bag.

Yamada: I like a relaxed yet simple style, so I like to make accessories such as sunglasses and accessories pop. At that time, I thought this model was perfect for me, and it blended very well with my skin.

Yamada: Many people buy "izipigi" in addition to apparel. Since this design is priced at 10,000 yen, people tend to buy it in addition to their apparel. I think this price is the most attractive point.

Yamauchi: I wear them outdoors, skateboarding, and surfing in the summer. I have other sunglasses, but I always end up picking up "Ijpigi" sunglasses because I can use them casually.

Takeuchi: The best thing about them is that they are lightweight. I have several pairs of eyewear, but most of them hurt my ears after wearing them all day long. But Ijpigi eyewear doesn't tire me out at all, and it doesn't hurt at all.

Yamauchi: My face is long, so I try to wear something with a good width. I also like a horizontal look, so I like a tortoiseshell look. It also goes well with my clothes.

Takeuchi: I like eyewear with roundish frames, and I also thought the color of the lenses was spring-like. I have a clear face, so I think that colors like that give me a softer look. This year, many variations have been released, and I would like to buy a few more!

Funakoshi: That's right. The store itself has been around for more than 30 years, and we have a lot of people from the older generation. For them, we started dealing in reading glasses at first. People don't really know where to buy so-called reading glasses. But when they are lined up in a store like ours, I think it is easier for them to pick them up.

Funakoshi: There are very few things that are just right. Izzy Pigi's designs are wonderful, and they are comfortable and stress-free. Since last fall, we have been gradually increasing our sunglasses lineup.

Funakoshi: I carry reading glasses with me at all times. I commute by bicycle, so I also wear sunglasses every day. I think I have three pairs in total.

Funakoshi: Personally, I think it's the hinge. Because it expands horizontally, it will fit any face without adjustment. I also like that the design is not too unique and can be worn casually.

Funakoshi: I liked the two-tone coloring and thought it blended well with my skin. Also, I always tie my hair up, and when I put on or take off the matte ones, my hair comes undone. But this work is acetate, so I don't have that stress.

Otsuki: I wear them so much that there is not a day that goes by that I don't wear them. I wear sunglasses even when I am standing in a store or outdoors.

Hamamatsu: I also commute by bicycle, so it is a must then.

Hamamatsu: It's cheap and easy to use. The design is lightweight and goes well with my everyday casual fashion. In summer, I especially like to wear bright colors, so I feel that "Ijpigi" fits me even better.

Otsuki: Yes, it is true that the price range is a big challenge for us. I am sure that you will be able to find something to your liking since there is a wide variation. I am confident in recommending IJIPIJI eyewear to first-time wearers as well.

Otsuki: There are plenty of expensive eyewear out there. I think there are many people who hesitate and end up not buying eyewear. If that is the case, it may be a crude way of putting it, but I think it would be a good idea if they buy "Ijpigi" for now (laughs).

Otsuki: I like things with volume. I also like clear lenses, which I think are summery.

Hamamatsu: I also chose a lighter density. I tend to choose darker ones in winter, but for the upcoming leisure scene, something with a sense of lightness like this would be good.

Takahashi: Compared to other brands, the feeling on the nose is softer. Especially imported brands tend to leave marks on the nose or cause earache, but this is rarely the case with "Ijpigi. Also, the hinges are soft, so they fit perfectly to any person.

Takahashi: They can be worn with both current outfits and outdoor outfits. Recently, the number of people who go trekking in Maizuru has been increasing, and these people are also buying them.

Takahashi: That's right. Recently, there was a big festival held in Maizuru, and many people bought them for that occasion. If you go to that festival, I am sure you will see many people wearing "Ijpigi" (laughs).

Takahashi: Last year, we had a pop-up and sold the products for only two weeks. The response was so great that we decided to try a full lineup this year.

Takahashi: Everyone was surprised not only by the good design and functionality, but also by the price. It is true that you can't find a product of this quality for this price anywhere else.

Under the trees: That's when we started the store, so it started in 2021. I liked the catchy price and that's when they came out with the polarized lens type. Fishing is popular in this area, and fishermen often come to the store. So I thought it would be nice to have casual "Ijpigi" lenses that could be worn both for fishing and on the street.

Under the trees: I don't think so. Polarized lenses are extremely expensive, so I appreciate the price. Moreover, the fishing we usually do doesn't require that level of precision, so the "Ijpigi" is working well for us.

Under the trees: The colors are unique. I thought the matte look was interesting, and the clear colors that started this year are also fresh.

Under the trees: The concept of the store is a "souvenir shop," so it would be a bit different to do crafty sunglasses here. This casual feeling is also a part of Ijipigi's charm.

Under the trees: Now that we have clear ones in stock, we are getting a good response, especially from women. I guess it's getting warmer and they want to wear these colors. But you know, I really like these eyewear. I myself buy more pairs every season.

YAMOTO: I wear sunglasses all year round and I think I have about 10 pairs. Of course, I also use "Ijpigi" sunglasses.

YAMOTO: It changes from time to time, but nowadays metal frames are more common than celluloid frames. Prices range from high-end to inexpensive.

YAMOTO: Affordability is the best. When I first bought my first pair, I wanted something I could wear casually, without thinking about it.

YAMOTO: First, I wanted to wear leather shoes today. To match the color, I chose eyewear in the same color. Also, I think many people tend to wear sporty or outdoor wear, but I wanted to match it with a clean look.

YAMOTO: I had preconceived notions at first, but when I tried it on, I found that it blended well. Recently, I have been thinking about subtly picking up colors, not only in eyewear. It makes the whole look more cohesive.

Mizumoto: I have always had bad eyesight, so I have always worn glasses since I was a child. Even after I became an adult, I often wear contact lenses, date glasses, and sunglasses.

Mizumoto: It is a place where there are many designs. There are so many variations in both frame and lens colors. I think there is something to fit everyone. Also, since they are unisex, I have an image that many couples or married couples use them for the same purpose.

Mizumoto: That's right. I think it is also nice for clothes lovers to be able to have many pieces of clothing because the price is affordable. You can enjoy them by changing them depending on the fashion of the moment.

Mizumoto: I thought they were cute at first glance, and since I often wear black clothes, clear sunglasses give me a relaxed look. I think clear frames go well with summer, so I think they will be useful in the coming seasons.

Yamaguchi: I wear [イジピジ] all year round. I wear clear lenses when I am indoors and dark lenses when I am outdoors. I often wear them all day long.

Yamaguchi: I have four of them. I have a dark lens, a light lens, and a folding one. I use them for daily use, for activities, etc.

Yamaguchi: I was not in the habit of wearing eyewear, partly because I have good eyesight. I rarely wore sunglasses. So I always felt stressed when I wore eyewear. But "Ijpigi" was different. They were lightweight, and the hinges were comfortable to wear because they were wide, so I thought I could wear them.

Yamaguchi: Also, the imported ones have big lenses. I felt like I was wearing something that was too big. I think the design of "Ijpigi" fits Japanese people well.

Yamaguchi: Many people pick up our eyewear because of the affordable price. There are many customers like me who are not comfortable with eyewear, but I feel that the price, design, and functionality are ideal as an entry-level model.
