P.A.Works has launched the 2026 edition of its Kissuiso MUSEUM project, an annual fan art initiative supporting the Yuwaku Bonbori Festival in Ishikawa Prefecture. The studio is soliciting illustrations, paintings, manga, and photos of three-dimensional objects themed around Yuwaku Onsen Town and the Hanasaku Iroha series. Selected works will be compiled into a catalog, with 200 copies donated to the festival committee. Applications are open from June 5 to August 16, 2026.
The 2026 Kissuiso MUSEUM project opens for submissions on June 5 and runs through August 16. P.A.Works is accepting illustrations, paintings, manga, and photos of three-dimensional objects that reference either Yuwaku Onsen Town or the Hanasaku Iroha series. Official secondary creation of Hanasaku Iroha is permitted for this project only, and contributors may also use the Little God character, which is free for anyone to create secondary works of.
This year's optional themes offer ten fictional song titles related to Yuwaku Onsen, such as 'Let's Meet at Gyokusen Lake' and 'Friendship Cider,' with the task of drawing a CD jacket image inspired by the chosen song. Selected works will be published in a catalog, and 200 copies will be donated to the Yuwaku Bonbori Festival Executive Committee. The donation method has changed from previous years, though the studio did not specify the difference.
