Makotoya Co., Ltd. (Location: Katsushika Ward, Tokyo) is pleased to announce that it has been selling character-inspired color soap flowers, under the official license of "Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kōen-mae Hashutsujo" (commonly known as Kochikame), starting March 31, 2026, as a community-driven initiative by a flower shop in Kameari, Katsushika Ward!
This product has been planned as an official "Kochikame" collaboration item, a flower gift inspired by the characters, and will be released in three models representing Ryotsu Kankichi, Akimoto Reiko, and Keiichi Nakagawa. A total of 200 units will be sold. As a flower shop located in Kameari, Katsushika Ward, this initiative was developed as part of an effort to promote the charm of both the work and the region.
Introduction
"Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kōen-mae Hashutsujo" (commonly known as "Kochikame") is a beloved, nationally popular work that has continued to be cherished for many years, set in Kameari, Katsushika Ward. Even now, character statues are installed around Kameari Station, and the area is familiar to many visitors as a place associated with "Kochikame." We have developed this project as a new gift item that connects "Kochikame" with flowers. This product has been produced as an initiative by a locally rooted flower shop to express the world of the work through flowers.
Product Overview
This product is a flower gift using soap flowers, which can be enjoyed for a long period without the need for water changes. It represents the main characters of "Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kōen-mae Hashutsujo":

Each character has been expressed through flower materials, wrapping, and decorations inspired by their colors. This item is suitable not only for fans of the work but also as a souvenir from Katsushika or a regional gift. © Akimoto Osamu・Atelier Be-dama／Shueisha・ADK

Development Background (Story)
As a local flower shop located in Katsushika Ward, Kameari, for 17 years, we started this project with the desire to "give form to a representative work of the region as a local flower shop."
In recent years, with changes in lifestyles, opportunities to interact with flowers in daily life have decreased, and the environment surrounding local flower shops has been changing. This product aims to create an opportunity for people to feel closer to flowers, using the world of the work as an entry point, and to serve as a trigger for incorporating flowers into their lives.
We will develop this product as one that delivers both the charm of regional culture and the value of a life with flowers simultaneously.

Representative's Comment
Minoru Mogi, Representative of "Hanaya Makoto," delivering flowers and smiles in Kameari.
Makotoya Co., Ltd. President Minoru Mogi
I am extremely happy to have been able to embody a representative work of Katsushika Ward as a local flower shop.
In recent years, with changes in lifestyles, opportunities to purchase fresh flowers have decreased, and the management environment for local flower shops has become increasingly challenging. While fresh flowers are inherently valuable for bringing color to seasons and spaces, the hurdle to incorporating them into daily life has also risen. In light of this background, this product offers an entry point for people to easily incorporate flowers into their lives, as it is an arrangement that requires no maintenance.
Through this product, we aim to foster the habit of decorating with flowers, and in the future, contribute to increasing demand for fresh flowers and creating opportunities for visits to local flower shops.
We hope this product will not only promote the charm of the work but also disseminate the appeal of the Katsushika region, serve as a trigger for incorporating flowers into daily life, and broaden interest in local flower shops.
