This started out as a concept for a way to help myself have something fun to look forward to each day. I’ll be honest, this took a lot (and I mean a lot) of work to put together, but I hope you’ll enjoy it. Click on the title below to go to the download page to download the kit. If you encounter any problems in any way with the kit, please don’t hesitate to Contact me.
The Basics
Touken Ranbu Daily Surprise is an activity set of sorts. Using the characters seen in the Touken Ranbu Hanamaru series the basic concept is to select a card each evening, place it on your bedside table or another nearby surface with a paper weight on top to prevent you seeing who is in the folded card. Then, in the morning, you are to open the card to see who you got and what activity they have in store for you that day.
Naturally, you do not have to do as the card/booklet suggests. You can simply ignore it or come up with your own take on the activity for the day. Perhaps theming something to the character featured on the card, but even that isn’t essential. I simply wanted to create something that would inspire/encourage me to find little ways of including more creativity/fun in my daily life and help me have something to look forward to in the morning. By sharing this set with you, my fellow Touken Ranbu fan, I hope you’ll also find ways to include more creativity/fun into your daily life with the ‘aid’ of our favourite sword boys.
Included in the set is the following:
• Card sheets.
• Directions booklet. (Which I highly recommend reading through before you begin.)
• Activity related printable sheets for selected characters (and a stencil for making your own sakura
shaped paper weight).
There is also a resources page with links to books and videos that may aid with specific activities.
Just a note, I’ve organized the characters in the booklet and in the daily surprise cards in order of their
numbers/appearance in the Hanamaru series.
Final Thoughts
In conclusion, I feel I’ve learnt a lot by putting this activity set together for both of us. It’s been an
experience and a half. There are aspects I do not wish to repeat in future projects, but there were also many good moments. This project would probably have just stayed ‘on the shelf’ if I hadn’t decided to put it onto the blog. So, thank you, my fellow Touken Ranbu fan, for being the inspiration to get this project completed and sent out into the world. I hope you derive much joy from this activity set and continue to enjoy Touken Ranbu and your fan side of life.
Keep your eyes open for new additions to this should any new characters arrive in the up-coming Touken Ranbu Hanamaru movies. (I’m so-o looking forward to those!) Just give me a little time to get to know those characters and come up with their related activities. ^-^
Until next time, keep enjoying your fan side of life!
