Balloon Flight floats on! These are the mini shikishi (ミニ色紙) from the GRANUP × Samurai Pizza Cats collaboration — small, square art boards about 120×135 mm, printed with metallic-gold edges and classic Japanese design charm.
Released as blind packs (¥550 each / ¥4,400 for a box of 8, containing all designs), the lineup includes: Yattaro (x2), Sukashii (x2), Pururun (x2), a team collage, and a stylish four-panel layout.
This set did not include any “hidden” designs.
What is “Shikishi”?
Shikishi (色紙) are traditional Japanese art boards made from thick, high-quality paper mounted on backing with gold foil edges.
Originally used for calligraphy, poetry, and autographs, they’ve become a popular medium for anime prints, illustrations, and seiyuu (voice actor) signatures.
Mini Shikishi (ミニ色紙) are smaller, collectible versions often sold in blind packs, especially for anime or game collaborations.
They feel sturdier than postcards but lighter than canvases, making them easy to display on easels, in frames, or alongside acrylic stands.
Western collectors might compare them to “art cards,” but they have a uniquely elegant, tactile quality rooted in Japanese art tradition.
