A collaborative project with creators/brands who resonated with TUCKSHOP's brand message, "PLAY WITH (UNIFORM). Don't be uniformed."
A series of carved wooden pieces in 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 pieces were created while resonating with the theme of TUCKSHOP 2025AW, "NOTIFICATION: OFF"—a time to step away from the noise and confront nature and oneself. Carved in a quiet environment, distanced from digital distractions, these figures bring small "breathing spaces" and "awareness" to everyday life.
Furthermore, this work also accommodates the tradition of "one-eye placement" seen in Japanese Daruma culture. There's also the joy of nurturing it as your own small charm—drawing one pupil with a wish, and adding the other when the wish is fulfilled.
For this collaboration, you will also receive a tote bag with an original pole print. It's a special item designed to be enjoyed alongside the artwork.
【YEL-01】 features a yellow face on top and an animal figure on the bottom. Due to the artist's nature, each piece is one-of-a-kind. The logo is printed on the back.

seto totempole souvenir
An artist who creates carved wooden figures using local timber and waste materials in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture. They participate in thinning activities in the forests of Seto, practicing cyclical manufacturing that returns regional natural resources to their creative process.
Re-evaluating the once-existent "handmade souvenir culture," they have carefully interpreted the local activities and cultural backgrounds through collecting and researching folk toys and overseas folk art. 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 create opportunities for people to visit.
