A collaboration project with creators/brands who resonate with TUCKSHOP's brand message, "PLAY WITH (UNIFORM). Don't be uniformed."
A series of wooden carved works from a capsule collection with seto totempole souvenir, an artist who creates carved wooden figures using local timber and scrap wood in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture.
These works were created with resonance to TUCKSHOP's 2025AW theme, "NOTIFICATION: OFF" ── a time to step away from the hustle and bustle and face nature and oneself. Carved in a quiet, digital-free environment, these figures bring a small "space" and "awareness" to everyday life.
Furthermore, this work is compatible with the custom of "painting one eye" seen in Japanese Daruma culture. There is also the joy of raising it as a small personal charm, by painting one eye with a wish and then painting the other eye when the wish is fulfilled.
This collaboration also includes a tote bag printed with an original pole. It's a special item that can be enjoyed with the artwork.
【BLU-01】 is a human-shaped figure with a blue face on top and a human body on the bottom. Due to the nature of the artist, each piece is one-of-a-kind. It has the logo printed on the back.

seto totempole souvenir
An artist based in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture, who creates carved wooden figures using local timber and scrap wood. They participate in thinning activities in the forests of Seto, engaging in a circular manufacturing process that returns regional natural resources to their creative work.
By re-evaluating the "handmade souvenir culture" that once existed, and through collecting and researching local folk toys and international folk art, they have carefully interpreted the local activities and cultural background. Based on this learning, they create carved wooden figures imbued with the simplicity and warmth of Seto, aiming to convey the charm of the Seto region and to create opportunities for people to visit.
