On September 27, precision processing company "SOLTEC" (Sumida-ku, Tokyo), which has a factory in Inakadate Village, Aomori Prefecture, released a new figure of Moe character "Ichihime".

"Ichihime" is a character with the motif of Sentokuichi, the wife of Inakadate castle owner and Masatake Sentoku during the Warring States Period. The company proposes a plan to "PM Office A" (Suwa City, Nagano Prefecture), which is engaged in the "Suwa Princess Project", and put it into practice. As a sister project, we started selling goods such as figures in 2014.

The theme of the new figure is "rice field art". We arranged three rice bales in "Ichihime" that holds rice ears. On the same day, pre-sale started at the "Moe Sake Summit 2015" venue in Akihabara, Tokyo and at the same village office. Full-scale sales of the figure are scheduled for mid-October. The figure of "Ichiko Nakatsuji", which is set to reincarnate "Ichihime" in the present age, will be sold only in Aomori prefecture, such as at the village office and roadside station.

Regarding the development of the new figure, Hobby Team Manager Toshiyuki Hirai said, "It is not well known nationwide that Inakadate Village is the birthplace of" rice field art ". I want people to know more about rice field art. "

One body costs 750 yen. "Ichihime" is also sold at toy stores throughout Japan.
