MY COLLECTION

Collage
These are mainly(if not all?) from The Kasaoka Horseshoe Crab Museum. These were bought online, I want to visit very badly, haha. An admission ticket, postcards, a gift-bag with a cool orange graphic, and an envelope with stamps and an original print(!).

Ballpoint Pen
- with Hello Kitty & Horseshoe Crab-motif! The charm is unbearably adorable...!!!

Vinyl figure
bought from The Kattegat Center, where I've seen Horseshoe Crabs in real life! They didn't have much merchandise for sale, since (as the clerk said,) they aren't very popular, LOL. I bought six of these.

MY PHOTOS(WIP)
On the 5th of June 2025, I went to The Kattegat Center to see horseshoecrabs IRL for the first time!! :-) I was so excited!!! these photos are mostly screenshots from a video, hence the quality. But as you can see, they're BEAUTIFUL! I believe they're either Chinese Horseshoecrabs, or Indo-pacific (pls let me know if you're a cool scientist, LOL).. I love the pale blue-ish grey of their shells, it's my favourite 'variant', LOL.
