A collaboration project with creators/brands who resonate with TUCKSHOP's brand message: "PLAY WITH (UNIFORM). Don't be uniformed."
A series of carved wooden figures 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.
This work was created in resonance with the theme of TUCKSHOP 2025AW, "NOTIFICATION: OFF" – a time to step away from the hustle and bustle and face nature and oneself.
Carved in a quiet environment, distanced from digital distractions, these figures bring a small "space" and "awareness" to everyday life.
Furthermore, this work is also compatible with the custom of "painting one eye" seen in Japanese Daruma culture.
You paint one eye black with a wish, and when it's achieved, you paint the other eye – there's also the joy of nurturing it as your own small charm.
This collaboration also includes a tote bag printed with the original pole.
It's a special item that can be enjoyed with the artwork.
【YEL-02】 features a yellow face at the top and an animal figure at 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 "fluctuations" and "flavor" that mass-produced items do not have.

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 forest thinning activities in Seto's forests, creating a cyclical manufacturing process that returns local natural resources to their creations.
By re-evaluating the "handmade souvenir culture" that once existed, and through collecting and researching local folk toys and overseas folk art, they have carefully interpreted the local activities and cultural backgrounds.
Based on this learning, they create carved wooden figures that embody the simplicity and warmth of Seto, aiming to convey the charm of Seto and create opportunities for people to visit.
