■"Alpacas" bring happiness

Alpacas live in Peru, 15,500 km away from Japan, and it is said that there are approximately 3.5 to 4 million of them living at altitudes as high as 4,000 meters. Because of the high altitude of their habitat, they are protected by "hair" that can withstand the extreme temperature differences between hot days and cold nights, and is known as a very high quality "animal hair. Alpacas are rare animals that give birth to only one offspring per year, and their hair is sheared every year or two.


In Peru, the alpaca has long been loved as an important animal for transporting goods in harsh environments, and even today, the alpaca is still highly valued as the "happy alpaca" in Peru. In recent years, due to their cute appearance, alpacas have become known as "lucky animals" and are now being invited to be "ring boys" at weddings in Japan, where they are photographed together in ceremonies.



Characteristics of INJOI stuffed alpaca toys

<Peruvian Alpaca

Peru is a country blessed with traditional culture and rich nature. At an altitude of 3,500 to 5,000 meters, the daily temperature difference is said to be as high as 35 degrees Celsius or more. Alpacas, which live in the Andes Mountains of South America while enduring extreme temperature differences, are loved by people for their adorable expressions and are raised as a symbol of the country. It is said that 83% of the world's alpacas live in Peru.


<Rare and luxurious material

Alpaca fur is noted for its superior quality and rarity, and is said to be one of the rarest animal fibers in the world. The alpaca population is said to be about 4 million, and the annual fiber production is said to be about 4,000 tons, which is only 0.15% of the world's total animal fiber. Alpaca fiber has long been called the "jewel of the Andes" for its excellent texture and preciousness. The use of real alpaca fur is INJOI's commitment to the material.


<Fluffy hand feeling with a touch of nature

The fluffy feel of the fur is a quality that can only be achieved by using real alpaca fur. It is also soft to the touch, durable, and resistant to pilling, which is another reason why it is so well-loved. Through the fluffy touch, you can feel the nature of the Andes Mountains located 15,500 km away from Japan. This is what INJOI is committed to, "a genuine gift from nature.


<Handmade, one and only in the world.

Each "stuffed animal" is made by skilled craftsmen using materials from nature in a careful and meticulous process, resulting in a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. INJOI's commitment to craftsmanship is to create one-of-a-kind products that are as genuine as the feelings you have for your loved ones.
