This year’s concept is “Sakura’s accumulated history.” The logo for the 70th anniversary of Sakura City’s incorporation depicts falling cherry blossom petals, and was designed with the meaning that Sakura’s history has been accumulated one by one by many people and will continue into the future, and the image of the wind carrying petals (letters) flutteringly. A “gecko” is drawn on the back of the post. A gecko that protects the house is watching over them. This work is filled with the desire to become a “gecko” that protects Sakura. In addition to the three existing cherry-colored mailboxes along the road from Keisei Electric Railway’s Keisei Sakura Station to the castle town area, please visit the cherry-colored mailbox that will be installed near the National Museum of Japanese History bus stop and get a feel for the thoughts of high school students. Why not send letters and postcards from here and accumulate interactions with many people!? [2025 Cherry-colored round post installation location] 117 Jonai-cho, Sakura City, Chiba Prefecture
