A collaboration visual for the second installment of the stamp rally touring the settings of the TV anime Nihon Sangoku has been unveiled in Ishikawa. The event will be held in Ishikawa Prefecture from Tuesday, May 26, 2026 to Thursday, December 31, 2026.
Nihon Sangoku is a manga by Ikka Matsuki, serialized in Shogakukan’s comic app “MangaONE” and web comic site “Ura Sunday.” Set in a near-future Japan where civilization has collapsed due to nuclear war, natural disasters, and bad governance, the country has split into three warring states. The story follows Sankaku Aoki, a lowly local official, as he aims to reunite Japan using his extensive knowledge and sharp tongue.
The manga has surpassed 1 million copies in circulation and has been adapted into a TV anime directed by Kazuaki Terasawa and produced by Studio Kafka. The cast includes Kensho Ono (Sankaku Aoki), Jun Fukuyama (Asama Yoshitsune), Asami Seto (Higashimachi Saki), and Megumi Han (narration).
This stamp rally visits the sacred sites that serve as the setting for the anime in Osaka, Ishikawa, Fukui, and Ehime prefectures. Following the first installment currently held in Osaka, the capital of Yamato, the second installment takes place in Ishikawa Prefecture, where battles with the Saint Barbarians unfold.
The collaboration visual features Sankaku Aoki, Asama Yoshitsune, Ryuujin Mitsuhide, Wajima Otoru, and Nagao Buto dressed in kimono. The background depicts Ishikawa’s famous tourist spot “Higashi Chaya District,” giving the visual a distinctly Ishikawa atmosphere.
By collecting stamps at designated checkpoints, participants can receive newly drawn special goods. Moreover, completing all checkpoints enters you into a lottery for local specialties. In Ishikawa, five winners will receive a “Noto Beef Premium Set” worth 10,000 yen.
The third installment in Fukui Prefecture is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, June 2, 2026. The collaboration visual shows the characters in suits and furisode with glasses, set against the “Fukui Station” that appears in the series. The featured characters are Sankaku Aoki, Asama Yoshitsune, Ryuujin Mitsuhide, Kaku Taiaki, Sugou Tsuyoshi, and Wajima Otoru, each adorned with elements representing various local attractions.
In the stamp rally, participants who collect stamps across all four cities can enter a lottery for cross-city completion bonuses based on the total number of stamps collected. Don’t miss your chance to win exclusive prizes from the series!
