Why it matters
The lineup leans on the supporting cast and Reiko as much as the mascot, and the custom engraving turns a character goods order into a personal bookplate, which is a narrower and more deliberate pitch than a standard stamp set.

Each design pairs a chibi character with a small illustration of a Japanese flower chosen to match that character.
