Where the checkerboard continues

Tanjiro's pattern extends well beyond his own section. It reappears on scarves, caps, and pencil cases, often without his name even appearing: the green and black checkerboard is enough to identify him.

As for the collection, his katanas are the most numerous in the shop, and the figurines depict him at every scale. His sister, Nezuko, has her own section, and the two overlap on a good portion of the throws. Pens and towels round out the list of items he adorns.
