A collaboration project with creators and 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.
This work was created while also resonating with the theme of TUCKSHOP 2025AW "NOTIFICATION: OFF" ── a time to step away from the hustle and bustle and face nature and oneself. The figures, carved in a quiet environment away from digital distractions, bring a small "space" and "awareness" to everyday life.
Furthermore, this work also accommodates the custom of "painting one eye" seen in Japanese Daruma culture. There is also the joy of raising it as your own small charm, by drawing an iris in one eye with a wish, and then filling in the other eye when the wish is fulfilled.
This collaboration includes a set with a tote bag printed with an original pole. It's a special item that can be enjoyed along with the artwork.
【RED-03】 features a red face on top and a human-shaped figure on the bottom. Due to the artist's nature, each piece is unique. The logo is printed on the back.

・Since each item is handmade, there may be individual differences in color, shape, and expression. Please enjoy the "fluctuation" and "flavor" that mass-produced items do not have.
・Since 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 who creates carved wooden figures using local timber and scrap wood in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture. They participate in forest thinning activities in Seto's forests, creating a circular manufacturing process that returns regional natural resources to their creations.
By re-evaluating the "handmade souvenir culture" that once existed and through collecting and researching local toys and foreign folk crafts, they have carefully deciphered the local way of life and cultural background. Based on that learning, they create carved wooden figures imbued with the simplicity and warmth of Seto, aiming to convey the charm of the Seto region and create opportunities for people to actually visit.
