Comment from Person in Charge: Yuko Kawakami, Product Planning Manager
"We planned the '47P Map Cheese Series' with the desire to make maps more familiar and enjoyable. The silhouettes of the Japanese archipelago and all 47 prefectures become cheese, and the mice peeking out from the cheese here and there are adorable. We finished the design with a classic cheese package image in mind, so it wouldn't look too childish."
"We paid attention to details, such as applying a varnish finish to the cover of the B6 ring notebook and giving each product's mouse a different expression. We also have expo-exclusive products, so we hope you will visit the Bungo Joshi Expo and see the products in person at the Map Design GALLERY booth."
