Turning Bonus Stickers into Eternal Heirlooms: The 'Gekito Sengokuden' Pure Gold Plate Project!

We support 'April Dream,' a project that encourages sharing dreams on April 1st. This press release is the dream of 'Gekito Sengokuden Honjin.' Gekito Sengokuden Honjin (Lead Organization: Physio Co., Ltd.) dreams of realizing the 'Golden Sengoku Soul Project (tentative title),' which aims to turn all historical samurai characters from the palm-sized art sticker series 'Gekito Sengokuden' into pure gold.

'Thoughts that transcend time' in a 48mm sticker 'Gekito Sengokuden' has expressed the lives and historical anecdotes of samurai through 48mm square stickers. The core theme is that thoughts connect across time and space through the exchange of stickers. The 80s sticker culture was not just a passing fad; it is still loved and passed down through generations. We strongly desire to preserve this charm and passion, born from the lineage of illustrators who worked on hit works of that time, for the distant future.

From Ukiyo-e to 48mm stickers: Connecting modern 'Musha-e' to the future Samurai have been depicted in various media like Ukiyo-e and Musha-e throughout history. We believe that these deformed samurai in 48mm stickers are also a form of 'contemporary art.' The illustrations are created by Studio Melfan, which led the 80s sticker boom with hits like 'Gamura Twist' and 'Ramen Ba.' Children who were obsessed with them have grown up and continue to love this sticker art across generations.

Passing the baton from the past to the present and future We want to pass this hot baton from the 80s to the future. We wish to preserve the wonderful techniques and illustrations of our era in a form that never fades. 'Pure Gold,' which has fascinated people since ancient times, is our choice. Transforming paper into pure gold and engraving this art as an 'heirloom' is our ultimate dream. We pursue this romance not just as merchandise, but as a cultural inheritance that conveys the splendor of our time for hundreds of years to come. From Toyotomi Hideyoshi to princesses, all characters will be given eternal life in golden radiance until they reach the hands of people in the future.
