In 1974, Johanna Spyri‘s classic novel Heidi got the anime treatment thanks to World Masterpiece Theater. The resulting series, Heidi, Girl of the Alps, lives on as a beloved contribution to the franchise’s library of literary adaptations. And for a limited time, commuters to and throughout Osaka can take home a souvenir of the series.

EKIHAKO at Eki Marché Shin-Osaka will be teaming up with the series to sell DVDs, Blu-rays, stuffed animals, stationery, and a selection of exclusive goods. The event, HEIDI marché, is already underway:
