Tokyo, Japan - For those seeking a glow to their Christmas this year, a jewellery store in downtown Tokyo has just the answer: a pure gold revolving "tree" covered in Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse, Tinker Bell and Cinderella.
The tree-like ornament is made of 40kg of pure gold, standing about 2.4m high and 1.2m in diameter. It is decorated with pure gold plate silhouette cutouts of 50 popular Disney characters and draped with ribbons made of gold leaf.
The price tag? A mere 350 million yen (S$5.2 million).
But the ornament is actually a deal, said Ms Tomoko Ishibashi, in the marketing department of Tanaka Kikinzoku Jewelry, which runs the Ginza Tanaka jewellery store.
An employee of Japan's jeweler Ginza Tanaka introduces the 350 million yen (S$5.2 million) Disney Gold Christmas Tree which is 2.4m in height and features 50 Disney characters made of gold, in Tokyo on Nov 21, 2012. The Christmas tree will be displayed in the shop until Dec 25.
