Sumikko Gurashi Exclusive Backgrounds Arrive at Studio Alice! Summer-Only Launch Starting June 1, 2026

San-X Co., Ltd. announces that photography studios operated by Studio Alice Co., Ltd. will introduce exclusive 'Sumikko Gurashi' photography backgrounds and original merchandise for a limited summer period. Photography will begin at participating stores on June 1, 2026 (Monday), with original merchandise released sequentially from the same day. This collaboration was born from the desire to make summer moments spent with family even more special alongside the 'Sumikko' characters. The concept is 'Summer Memories with Sumikko.' Various exclusive backgrounds and original products will be developed based on motifs such as starry skies, amusement parks, and picnics. A total of four new backgrounds for kids and babies will be introduced, tailored to the child's age and photography style. A wide lineup of original products, such as clear photos and acrylic stands, will also be available. During the period, customers who take photos or purchase items using the exclusive backgrounds will receive a 'Sumikko Print' as a special gift. Studio Alice operates 406 stores across all 47 prefectures in Japan and continues to support families in creating precious memories.
