The blanket measures about 100 by 140 centimeters, has an embossed surface with a fluffy, warm texture, and comes in two designs: Chiikawa, Hachiware, and Usagi in aprons making sweets, and the same characters in Kintaro costumes leaping with axes. The source material is Nagano's Chiikawa. Participating stores will be listed on Parade's official site.","whyItMatters":"The blanket adds another prize-tier item to Chiikawa's merchandise line at a time when the property is being spread across goods creation services and seasonal event tie-ins, so the licensed item itself matters less than which channels it reaches.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe blanket is sized at roughly 100 by 140 centimeters and finished with an embossed surface that Parade describes as fluffy and warm.

Two design languages, one prize line.","threadsPost":"Parade's two Chiikawa blanket designs split the cast in half: aprons and sweets on one side, Kintaro costumes and axes on the other. The Kintaro pose is the odd one, since the source material usually keeps the trio in domestic, low-stakes scenes. That contrast is the sellable part.","newsletterBlurb":"Parade will release a Chiikawa Fluffy BIG Blanket as an amusement prize from mid-October 2026 at facilities nationwide.
