Seiwado Bookstore, founded in 1970 in Tsurumi, Osaka, known for its over 100 original book cover designs, will launch a collaboration with Osaka Joto Post Office starting April 18, 2026. The collaboration features a "postbox-themed book cover" and a "letter-themed bookmark." This project, inspired by the positive reception of a similar collaboration last year, aims to celebrate St. Jordi's Day (April 23), a tradition in Catalonia, Spain, where books and roses are exchanged. The book cover is designed like a postbox, and the bookmark resembles a letter, allowing messages to be written on it. 1,000 sets of the book cover and bookmark will be given to customers who purchase paperback books. An online store will sell a Seiwado Bookstore original version. Special events are scheduled for April 18-19, 2026, featuring appearances by the post office character "Posukuma" and sales of post office original merchandise.
