The Naoshi art is what stands out most. Naoshi, who works under the name SUNAE (砂絵), is a sand artist based in Los Angeles who comes from Iwate, Japan. She makes colorful sand pictures of surreal people in fantastical and everyday settings, and the store carries a wide range of her art prints. The 13x19 prints cost $35 each, with titles such as 'Ice Cream Head' and 'Twin Cats'. The 8x10 prints cost $25, including 'Queen Dog' and 'Donut Planet', and the 5x7 'Ramen Power' is $15. The 8x10 Tarot Strength print is based on Pamela Colman Smith's original artwork for the Rider-Waite Tarot. It is unframed, printed with archival pigment on 270g/m² premium inkjet paper, and signed on the back. There are also sand art DIY kits at $15 each, such as 'Pumpkin Night', plus notepads at $12, sticker sheets at $6 and washi tape at $5.
