A collaborative project with creators/brands who resonated with TUCKSHOP's brand message, "PLAY WITH (UNIFORM). Don't be uniformed."
A series of wooden carved artworks from a capsule collection with seto totempole souvenir, an artist who creates wooden carved figures using local timber and scrap wood in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture.
This work was created in resonance with the theme of TUCKSHOP 2025AW, "NOTIFICATION: OFF"—time to step away from the noise and face nature and oneself. Carved in a quiet environment, distanced from the digital world, these figures bring a small "space" and "awareness" to everyday life.
Furthermore, this work also incorporates the custom of "drawing one eye" seen in Japanese Daruma culture. There's also the joy of nurturing it as your own small charm, by drawing one eye with a wish and drawing the other 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 together with the artwork.
【PIN-03】features a pink face on top and an animal figure on the bottom. Due to the nature of the artist, each piece is one-of-a-kind. The logo is printed on the back.

・Each item is handmade, so there may be individual differences in color, shape, and expression. Please enjoy the "wobble" and "flavor" that mass-produced products do not have.
・Because natural materials are used, the color and texture will change over time. We hope you will enjoy the aging process, which deepens with use, as a unique charm of this work.
seto totempole souvenir
An artist based in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture, who creates wooden carved figures using local timber and waste materials. They participate in thinning activities in the forests of Seto, engaging in circular manufacturing that returns local natural resources to their creations.
By re-evaluating the "handmade souvenir culture" that once existed and through collecting and researching local toys and international folk crafts, they have carefully deciphered the region's traditions and cultural background. Based on this learning, they create wooden carved figures imbued with the simplicity and warmth of Seto, aiming to convey the charm of the Seto region and encourage people to visit.
