This Christmas sees the wonderful magic of Raymond Briggs’ Father Christmas celebrating the 20th anniversary of presences in Japan.

Takashimaya (Japanese department store chain) have yet again created a festivity of Father Christmas memorabilia to celebrate 20 years. The 20th Father Christmas figure is a gift to the Japanese people and collectors as a way of thanking the customers for their loyalty. A special limited edition collectors box of all 20 Father Christmas figures is also available.

Thanks to the help of Digital Media Lab there is even more of Father Christmas to be seen this year with augmented reality features within the Takashimaya stores plus Father Christmas merchandise including posters and shopping bags.

So a big congratulations goes out to Father Christmas on this special anniversary year.
