Summary
Holiday Japan is a vinyl Companion released on July 18, 2019 through DDT Store, AllRightsReserved's web shop, for the Japanese stop of the KAWS:HOLIDAY tour. That stop placed an enormous reclining Companion at a campsite at the foot of Mount Fuji, and the figure scales the moment down: Companion lies flat on its back in a relaxed, vacationing pose, about 9.5 inches along its length. Each figure is stamped HOLIDAY JAPAN on the back. It was issued in grey, black, and brown at $200, and the grey colorway pairs the mid-grey body with darker grey detailing. Production was handled by AllRightsReserved and DDT, the team behind the whole HOLIDAY series.
Why It Matters
The Mount Fuji stop is the most photographed chapter of the KAWS:HOLIDAY tour — a giant Companion resting beneath one of the most recognizable mountains on earth — and this figure is its take-home record. Within the series, the reclining pose reads as the most serene of the HOLIDAY figures, and its horizontal format sets it apart from the standing UK and Space releases. For collectors working through the tour chronologically, Japan marks the fourth stop, after Seoul, Taipei, and Hong Kong.
Collector Perspective
Our WorthPoint analysis records 35 sales of the grey Holiday Japan, with a median of $276 against $200 retail and a latest recorded sale in February 2026. The range is wide — $11.50 to $500 — and the low end is a caution flag: results that far under market usually mean damage, missing packaging, or questionable authenticity. Clean boxed examples do the volume near the median. The grey colorway trades steadily because it fits the neutral palette most Companion collectors already display.
FAQ
What does the Holiday Japan figure depict?
It depicts Companion lying flat on its back in a relaxed pose, echoing the giant reclining Companion KAWS installed at a campsite at the base of Mount Fuji in July 2019. The figure is stamped HOLIDAY JAPAN on the back.
What is the edition size of Holiday Japan?
It is an unnumbered open edition — no production quantity was published and figures carry no edition numbers. Supply was determined by the DDT Store release window in July 2019 at $200 retail.
Is the Holiday Japan figure signed by KAWS?
No. HOLIDAY vinyl figures are not individually signed. Authenticity is established by the HOLIDAY JAPAN stamp, molded copyright markings, and the original packaging, not a signature.
How do I avoid buying a fake Holiday Japan?
Fakes of the HOLIDAY series circulate heavily. Compare the sharpness of the HOLIDAY JAPAN back stamp, the paint edges between grey tones, and box print quality against verified examples. Sold results near $11.50 in the data illustrate the risk at the bottom of the market — buy from a trusted dealer with an authenticity guarantee.
How does Holiday Japan differ from Holiday Taipei?
Both are resting poses, but Japan lies fully flat on its back at roughly 9.5 inches long, while Taipei is a smaller 7-inch seated figure. Japan also carries the HOLIDAY JAPAN stamp and shipped in the Mount Fuji-themed packaging from the 2019 campsite event.
