DAISO's original trading card game Mushijingi is running a summer collaboration with insect museums, museums, and science museums across Japan from July 18 to September 23, 2026. Participants in Mushijingi Tournaments and Trial Sessions at participating venues receive a newly drawn Great Purple Emperor promo card illustrated by Xion. The Fukuoka Great Insect Exhibition also distributes a limited Ant Crickets card at entry.
The event spans multiple venues and formats. At the Fukuoka Great Insect Exhibition and Great Mineral Exhibition, run by the Kyushu University Museum, visitors can see insect specimens, live beetles, stag beetles, bell crickets, and cicada molting videos alongside the card game collaboration.
A limited illustration version of the Ant Crickets card, drawn by akio nakamura and supervised by Kyushu University Museum Associate Professor Munetoshi Maruyama, is distributed at the exhibition entrance. The card joins the 8th set of Mushijingi, scheduled for release in early autumn 2026.
The schedule also includes a Trial Session on August 1 with Team Koro, where participants receive a starter set and booster pack, and a lottery-based early trial session for the 8th set on August 9, limited to 120 people, with Daiso Publishing President Dai Shoda appearing as a presenter.
