Let’s Go to town - Disney Sango Toki Japan (1960s)


Let’s Go to Town Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse was a charming character merchandise line produced in Japan during the 1960s under license from The Walt Disney Company and manufactured by Sango Toki. Created during a period when Disney characters were rapidly gaining popularity in postwar Japan, the set typically featured cheerful town-themed illustrations of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse dressed in colorful outfits, often depicted strolling through a stylized cityscape. Sango Toki, known for producing ceramic tableware and novelty items, applied vibrant decals and mid-century design aesthetics that reflected both American animation influence and Japanese craftsmanship. These 1960s pieces are now considered collectible vintage Disney memorabilia, valued for their nostalgic artwork, quality ceramic production, and representation of early international Disney licensing in Japan.
