A Love Letter for Grown-Ups
When you want to convey your feelings to your partner on occasions like proposals, weddings, anniversaries, or birthdays,
there is a wonderful gift that you should definitely know about.
It’s a handmade picture book that you can create yourself called "Shikake Tegami" 📖
The concept is "A Love Letter for Grown-Ups."
It’s a service that allows you to send a heartfelt message of gratitude and affection, which is usually hard to express due to shyness, in the form of a uniquely crafted picture book to your important person. ♡

A Handmade Picture Book You Can Create Yourself ♡
The picture books that you can create with Shikake Tegami have four story base patterns, and by customizing the content,
you can create your original picture book.
The base consists of these four patterns*
✅ From a man to a woman
✅ From a woman to a man
✅ From a dad to a child
✅ From a mom to a child
You can give it as a proposal,
or surprise your partner at the wedding.
Not only can you purchase a physical book, but you can also buy an electronic data version, allowing it to be screened at the wedding too. ♡
Giving it as a commemorative gift for childbirth or as a birthday present from parents to children is also a wonderful idea!
To see how it actually comes together and what kind of content it has, let's introduce it using the "From a Woman to a Man" version as an example. ♡

How to Create Shikake Tegami 💌
① Choose between just the book or both the book and electronic data. When you order the electronic data, you can view it anytime on your smartphone or screen it at the wedding*
(Book only: 5,830 yen, Book and electronic data: 7,700 yen)
② Enter basic information.
Input your name, how you refer to the recipient, the engraved anniversary, the number of children, and the number of pets (dogs/cats)*
It’s nice that not only you two, but also your important children and pets can be included. ♡
③ Choose the protagonist's face.
You can freely customize the faces of your partner and yourself. ♡ (Face shape, hairstyle, glasses, mouth shape, moles)
It's not just changing the name; you can also make the illustrations in the book resemble you, making it an emotional and moving picture book...!
④ Choose two "slight flaws" of your partner.
From five story options (a bit short-tempered, overly forgiving, snoring, indecisiveness, low empathy), select the ones that fit your partner.
For example, if your partner has a tendency to be indecisive, the content might be:
【〇〇 often smiles and says, ‘Anything is fine.’】
【But that might just be the indecisiveness disguised as kindness.】
⑤ Choose three "attractions" of your partner.
Choose from fifteen story options (ladies first, reliable sense of security, similar sensibilities, devoted to children, a challenging attitude, etc.) that apply to your partner.
For example, if your partner provides a reassuring sense of reliability, it might say:
【When I get flustered, I can become disoriented.】
【But 〇〇 always stays calm, which gives me a solid sense of security when it matters.】
⑥ Add a message to your partner.
You can input a message of gratitude in your own words, up to 8 lines of 21 characters each (maximum 168 characters). ♡
(You can also choose from 6 font types!)
⑦ Finally, choose a recommendation to include on the book's cover and complete it. ♡
