Bicycle Sanshusha Black Playing Cards

Sanshusha is a printing company with a rich history of over 100 years. The company is well-known for printing the iconic Japanese literary magazine, Shirakaba, which is indispensable in the history of Japanese literature. Many literary figures, including Saneatsu Mushanokoji, Naoya Shiga, and Takeo Arishima, used to visit Sanshusha to proofread their manuscripts for Shirakaba and other literary magazines such as Subaru, co-published by Ogai Mori, Tekkan Yosano, and Akiko Yosano, as well as Myojo and Seito.

Sanshusha has recently introduced a new product, Bicycle Sanshusha Playing Cards, which pays homage to the company's history. The black version of the bicycle features the proofreading symbols and typesetting rules unique to a printing company, incorporated into the card face design. This has resulted in intentionally scattered mistakes to express proof marks, making the bicycle interesting. The suits are out of alignment, and the numbers and faces of the face cards are intentionally different, making it a unique design.
