FUFUTIETIE, an art figure brand that reinterprets Buddhist, mythological, and zodiac motifs from East Asian cultures through a contemporary lens, has opened a limited-time popup store in Asakusa — its first appearance in the area. The popup is taking place at Tokyo Rickshaw's Kaminarimon-dori branch and began on April 1, 2026.
The brand describes its work as giving tangible, everyday form to invisible values such as "prayer" and "wishes." FUFUTIETIE has built a following in cities including Shanghai, Taipei, and Bangkok, and has previously held popup events at Yokohama VIVRE, Osaka Sky Building, and the ongoing Kanazawa FORUS location.
Exploring Asakusa with Tokyo Rickshaw
As part of the Asakusa popup, FUFUTIETIE has partnered with Tokyo Rickshaw for a collaborative experience. Rickshaws wrapped in special FUFUTIETIE-themed designs are making their way through the streets of Asakusa, connecting the brand's world with the area's traditional atmosphere.
Visitors who ride a Tokyo Rickshaw during the collaboration period will receive an exclusive limited-edition sticker available only at this popup.
The collaboration also features:
- Special wrapped rickshaws — "Tokyo Rickshaw × FUFUTIETIE" branded rickshaws traveling through Asakusa's streets
- Collaboration happi coats — select rickshaw pullers wearing non-commercial collaboration coats featuring FUFUTIETIE's visual world
Series Lineup
The Japan rollout centers on four series, each rooted in East Asian culture and belief, reinterpreting concepts of "prayer," "wishes," and "connection" for a modern audience.
KOKOROBI (心灯)
A symbol of light illuminating the heart through uncertainty and anxiety — recommended for those looking to clear their mind.
GOEN (悟縁)
Inspired by the Five Road Fortune Gods, this series guides luck in wealth, work, and relationships — for those looking to invite abundance.
OMUSUBI (結日)
A paired art figure featuring a zodiac sign and its guardian Buddha — recommended as a lifelong charm for warding off misfortune and inviting good connections.
