The candies are sold in 4-by-3.5 inch tin cans with a tin pull cap. Sakuma tins are considered collectible items, as the design frequently changes. The tin of fruit-flavored candies carried around by war orphan Setsuko contains one of the few sources of comforting happiness she has left. Once the last one is gone, her brother Seita uses the tin as a water canteen, letting his sister enjoy the residual sweetness on the inside of the container, and after Setsuko’s life come to a tragic end, the tin takes on a deeper meaning still. Tokyo-based Sakumaseika Co recently announced it would be forced to end operations because of rising production costs, a labor shortage and drops in sales. The candy was originally made by Sakuma Candy ( 佐久間製菓, Sakuma Seika), based in Ikebukuro, Tokyo in 1908. The company ceased production during World War 2 due to the sugar shortages. After the war, employees of the original company founded two new companies that continued making the candy, one using the original name and a second also called Sakuma Candy (サクマ製菓), but written in katakana instead of kanji. [1] The second company owns the trademark to the name "Sakuma Drops" and sells their candy as such in green cans, while the original used the name "Sakuma's Drops" (サクマ式ドロップス ( "Sakuma-style drops", Sakuma-shiki doroppusu)) and red tins.

The candies, Sakumashiki Drops, aren’t a fictional creation, but an actual confectionary brand that first went on sale in 1908. They were created by Sojiro Sakuma, an entrepreneur from Chiba Prefecture who saw how popular fruit candies imported from overseas had become in Japan, and wanted to create a domestic version so tasty that it would then be Japan’s turn to export its candy drops abroad. These sweets attest to Japan’s storied history. These sweets have been around for a long time, and their continued appeal is a testament to the value of preserving history. The Allure of Collecting
