I’m not sure which kitsch factor I enjoy most about this made in Japan Portable Banana Keeper, the fact that it’s pierced with hearts because it loves bananas so much,…

Bravo! I love bananas and I love those cases from Japan. I also think the yellow banana on the fuchsia rug/textile with the gray kitty is stunning.
