    The ``AOMORIFIGHTER II Tsugaru'', a collaboration between ``Street Fighter 2'' and Aomori, will be on sale from mid-December.

    This is the fourth product planned by SUGOMONO JAPAN, a product brand that plans, develops, and sells souvenirs in collaboration with countries all over the country. The first release, released in June last year, included souvenir jackets featuring Aomori's traditional craft ``Tsugaru Koginzashi'' and shading clay figurines.

    In this project, we will be collaborating Capcom's popular fighting game ``Street Fighter 2'' with shading clay figurines excavated from Kamegaoka in Tsugaru City, Aomori Prefecture, ``Tsugaru Kogin-zashi'' and ``Nanbu Hishi-zashi'' in total of 4 types. Prepare souvenir T-shirts.

    The highlight is a T-shirt made by a dot craftsman that recreates the main character characters "Ryu" and "Ken" who fight in front of JR Gono Line Kizukuri Station, which is shaped like a clay figurine. We will also have T-shirts with prints depicting the most used technique in the game, Hadouken, using Tsugaru Koginzashi and Nambu Hishizashi to give the three-dimensional feel of the threads.

    Satoshi Torigoe, creative director, said, ``We considered collaborating with other prefectures using Street Fighter, but I couldn't get the power of wooden stations out of my head, so I decided to create a project centered around shading clay figurines. I thought the Tsugaru Koginzashi was amazing, and I approached him again with the idea that collaborating with the world-famous content Street Fighter would be an opportunity to get more people to know about it."

    The project included ideas such as the character ``Sakura'' walking through the cherry blossoms of Hirosaki Castle in full bloom, the character ``Zangief'' drawn with a Neputa paper, snow fences, and a Mt. Iwaki stage. Mr. Torigoe says with a smile, ``Aomori still has many charms.I hope we can help deliver even a little bit of the charm of its diverse traditional culture, not just through collaboration goods.''

    The price is 8,800 yen each and is sold to order. Available at sales sites such as "Dwango JP Store" and "STREET FIGHTER COLLABORATION."
