| Chiba Printing Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Mitsuo Yanagawa) has launched an original brand called “GAMOTTO Lab.'' that plans, manufactures, and sells products specializing in printing and paper products. It is expanding. |
| At our company, we will release “Sakana Karuta”, which has achieved a total series support of 7,283,341 yen through crowdfunding, as “Goldfish Karuta” supervised by junior high school goldfish doctor “Kanon-chan”. |
| Prior to the general sale, GREEN FUNDING held a pre-sale on September 20th (Friday) at 11:15 a.m. We reached the target amount in just 5 minutes and got off to a good start. |
| As of 4 days ago, we have received 665% of the support compared to our goal. |
|
| What is “Sakana Karuta” |
|
“Sakana Karuta'' is a karuta game where you can guess which fish it is by just looking at the skin (patterns and colors) of the fish.
A special printing technology is used to reproduce the vivid colors, metallic texture, and unevenness of the scales of fish that you don't see in everyday life.
Depending on the rules, everyone can play together, including the elderly with poor eyesight and small children, and they can also learn the kanji for fish and trivia.
Since it is made of water-resistant material, you can also float it in the bath. |
|
| The project started by chance |
I happened to meet Kanon-chan's mother at a store that the staff often frequented, and as we talked, I learned that her husband is the director of a goldfish aquarium.
I handed over a sample of “Sakana Karuta'' on the spot, and my daughter “Kanon-chan'' liked “Sakana Karuta''. It all started when someone told me they wanted to make a goldfish version. |
| Shortly after, I received a call to give a presentation about the goldfish version |
|
| “Kanon-chan” showed us handwritten materials, and we wanted to convey to as many people the fun and cuteness of the unique goldfish, and how we could express it as “Sakana Karuta” so that even children could enjoy it. etc All the staff were surprised by the presentation, which put adults to shame. |
| “Goldfish Karuta” was born from empathy |
|
| After listening to Kanon-chan's presentation, the concept of “Sakana Karuta'' was given to children who have less exposure to nature. “Let people actually see, touch, and enjoy” The idea of providing an experience from the comfort of your home and “Characteristics, cuteness, and fun of goldfish” I felt that there was something in common in the desire to deliver. |
|
|
|
| 1. Selection of beautiful goldfish |
| We use photos of goldfish that have won awards at competitions or that capture the enthusiasm of their producers. |
|
| 2. Even small children can play |
“Kanon-chan” has given me various ideas that come from actually playing “Sakana Karuta.”
One of them is It was to add furigana to the reading cards. |
|
“There are some young children who cannot read kanji but want to be readers.”
I heard the story and immediately Make the font a little larger to improve readability and add furigana By doing this, we have made it possible for a wider range of children to play than before. |
| 3. Comes with karuta only for club fans |
| This time, as a special benefit only for those who support us “GREENFUNDING Limited Karuta” I created it. |
