The foil-stamping brand ROKKAKU announced the "Japan Famous Places Series Sakura Fuji Foil-Stamped Postcards" on October 9. They go on sale on Monday, October 19, 2026 at the official online shop, and will roll out at retailers in phases from late October.
With Mt. Fuji and cherry blossoms as motifs, two postcards depict the scenery of morning and night. It is a spring scene combining cherry trees in full bloom, Mt. Fuji and a five-story pagoda.
Morning sakura and night sakura: foil that changes with the light
The designs are "Morning Sakura" and "Night Sakura." The same combination of Mt. Fuji and cherry blossoms is drawn differently, with the colors and mood of different times of day.
The front is finished with foil over the entire surface, combining glossy paper and foil. How the foil looks changes with the viewing angle and the way light hits it.
Morning Sakura places pale cherry pink on a mostly white surface, while Night Sakura layers pink and gold-toned foil on a black background. The pagoda's roof and the ridgeline of Mt. Fuji are also rendered with combinations of thin lines and areas.
Famous scenery on postcard-size paper
The size is 100 x 148 mm. The material is cast-coated paper. Each pack contains one card, finished at the same size as a postcard used for letters.
The price is ¥500 (tax included) each. In stores, sales begin in phases from late October, so the date differs from the online shop's release date. The designs carried and stock availability can be checked at each store.
ROKKAKU is a paper goods brand that incorporates foil-stamping expression. Foil stamping is a technique that presses foil onto paper using heat and pressure, completing the design by making metal plates and layering foil. For this Japan Famous Places Series, the glossy finish of the whole surface is used with cherry blossoms and Mt. Fuji as the subject.
