For each of the 63 products, 'mountain professionals' familiar with the area conduct field surveys, and the maps are revised annually based on those results. The first jigsaw puzzle, 'Mountain and Highland Map Jigsaw Puzzle: Yarigatake/Hotakadake Kamikochi', released in June last year, generated a huge response from mountaineering enthusiasts and puzzle fans due to the precision of the map and the difficulty of the puzzle. It even temporarily sold out at the Shobunsha online store (currently 'Chizuya Honpo') immediately after release. Subsequently, 'Yatsugatake' in December and 'Mt. Fuji' in February of this year were also released and continue to boast stable popularity. Now, as the highly anticipated fourth installment of the series, the 'Tsurugi and Tateyama' edition will be released. 'Mt. Tsurugi' is known as one of the Northern Alps' most prominent rocky peaks, and 'Mt. Tateyama' is a famous mountain that has been an object of worship since ancient times. The rugged terrain, with its many layers of complex contour lines, is said to boast the highest class of 'summit (completion) difficulty*' (according to the person in charge) as a jigsaw puzzle.
