Shinano Town PR character Issa-san. This character was created from selected entries to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the birth of Kobayashi Issa on August 31, 2013. His specialty is haiku, and apparently he loves Kirishita soba, a specialty of Shinano Town. He appears on stamps, at events, and elsewhere, working hard in PR activities to enliven Shinano Town.
