When Ichigo Shimbun (or as you may know it - Strawberry News!) was first published in April 1975, it was 12 pages long and was published twice a month, costing 100 yen per issue! It started with a proposal from the Strawberry King to create a newspaper that would convey his wish for everyone in the world to get along and cherish compassion.

In honor of the 50th anniversary, a strawberry-themed collection was created to commemorate the lasting relationship with our Ichigo Mates (readers of the Ichigo Shimbun!). Enjoy and collect plush, mascots, and small accessories from this delightfully sweet series.

♡ Floral, ribbon accents

♡ Embroidered and applique details

♡ Part of the Ichigo Shimbun 50th anniversary Series

Bought this for my shelf and the strawberry print on her bow is way cuter in person than in the photos, plus the plush is perfectly squishy without being flimsy. Even the little newspaper motif on her belly feels like a proper nod to the 1975 era it's celebrating.

The 50th anniversary details really show in the packaging and the little strawberry motif—it's a proper collector's piece, not just a random plush. The fabric is soft but holds its shape well, so it looks great on my shelf next to all my other vintage finds.

The stitching on the strawberry print is so clean and detailed, it really captures that classic 1975 magazine vibe. I’ve been collecting Sanrio plush for years and this one feels like a proper little piece of history, plus the fabric is super soft.
