12/7 Yuru-Fuwa Patent Drawings

＼This is an article for the "Intellectual Property Advent Calendar 2021" on 12/7／

Hello. I'm Uchida, and I love patent drawings.

After leaving my corporate job in 2020, I have been working as a freelancer, sharing information about intellectual property (hereinafter referred to as IP) through "Toreru Media" and "Chizai Zukan" (Column: Patent Drawing Encyclopedia), as well as on Twitter and other platforms.

Lately, I've been really into collecting "Yuru-Fuwa (loose and fluffy) patent drawings," and I even held my own "Cute Patent Drawing Championship."

Patent drawings are "IP" left behind by our predecessors. Knowing that there are still many unknown drawings remaining and that more will be created in the future makes me look forward to living on. (A bit dramatic...!)

In this Advent article, I will introduce a patent drawing related to "#WorldKAMISHIBAI Day," which is commemorated today, December 7th. Let's gaze at the drawings and wish for peace!

Patent No. 3538182: Picture book and Kamishibai combination for children

Filing Date: 2002.1.31　Right Holder: Individual

So cute!!

Is the tanuki trying to give a secret gift to the mushroom? Or, conversely, is the tanuki innocently happy, expecting a gift... I'm curious about what happens next.

The key points of this invention seem to be the indentations to make it easier to pull out the pages and the inclusion of a base (③).

It's cute.
