What Is Purikura?

Hello minna, such a very long time I didn’t update about Purikura stuff at here and since I left the topic a few months ago (Kawaii Japanese Boy/Girls With Purikura) and NOW, I Am BACK!

Before this, I forget to put some info what Purikura means and some of my colleague ask me since we work at the same place and they knew a lot about something which I’m interested for so they want to know what Purikura means actually and also they said the picture which I save on my gallery is cute and pretty awesome. To answer all their curiosity about Purikura and also for my visitor who have a questioner too about Purikura, here I made some definition about Purikura.

In short form, Purikura means Japanese sticker pictures. And what is Purikura really?

A hobby, Art, Creativity, A photo-diary, Self-portraiture, A slice-of-life, Pop culture, A record of the day, A celebration of anniversaries, Something to do on a date, Girls bonding time, School girls version of trading cards, Something to look at during class, FUN!!

Purikura or プリクラ is the shortened form of the trademarked name プリント倶楽部 (purintokurabu) or Print Club. It's like 'hoover' or 'biro' in that the trademark has come to mean all incarnations of the product.

Purikura is a popular activity among Japanese school children and young adults, mainly girls, young women and young couples.

Purikura booths let you take digital pictures with your friends which you can then decorate with the touch-screen and stylus. You can add frames, stamps, sparkles (in some machines these print as real glitter) and you can write and draw freehand with a variety of pen colours and styles.

Your finished pictures are then printed off on sticker paper in multiple copies so you can cut them up and share them out. Purikura pictures are often used to decorate stationery in school but you can use them anywhere! Young girls sometimes trade their cutest purikura with each other.

New machines are very popular and those that have been featured in a magazine often have queues of girls waiting to use them.

There are machines in many countries all over the world so if you get the chance, try it out!
