Bitokkou Hug Card (Aozora-tei) Sumo Wrestler

HUG Card Just as the name suggests, the characters on either side of the card embrace each other in a warm hug. Some designs feature a special blind embossing technique, creating a raised texture that recreates the softness of fur through subtle relief patterns. The tactile feel is wonderfully pleasant to the touch. Open the card to reveal a space for your personal message. Let HUG-chan hold and warm your heartfelt words before they reach their recipient. Set Size: 73 × 110 mm (Open: 73 × 203 mm) Please note that due to the nature of letterpress printing, slight ink bleeding, variations in ink coverage, and occasional imperfections may occur. These characteristics are part of the charm of the printing process.
