Discover the Captain Tsubasa Popup Store

The world of Captain Tsubasa, a legendary Japanese soccer manga, is making waves once more. This time, it’s coming to life in Daikanyama at the Tsutaya Bookstore with a remarkable popup store that showcases unique collaborations merging traditional Japanese artisanship with contemporary football culture.

Cultural Collaborations

Kutani Ware

One of the highlights of the popup is the partnership with Kutani ware, known for its exquisite craftsmanship rooted in the southern Kanazawa region of Japan. The store features two distinctive items: a charming small plate and an elegant yunomi teacup. The traditional method, Kinrande, has earned a reputation as “Japan Kutani” and is globally recognized for its intricate designs.

Sofubi Figures

In an exciting twist, the popup introduces a collaboration with Japan Sofubi, showcasing five figures from the beloved series: Tsubasa Ozora, Taro Misaki, Genzo Wakabayashi, Ryo Ishizaki, and Kojiro Hyuga. Sofubi refers to soft vinyl figures that originate from Japan and have rapidly gained popularity as collectible art pieces, capturing the imagination of both children and adults alike.

Japanese Tea

Tea lovers will delight in a special collaboration featuring premium tea leaves from Shizuoka, a setting central to the childhood stories of Captain Tsubasa. This tea collection includes loose leaf tea and teabags under the creative name Cha Tsubasa, packaged exquisitely in a can adorned with Tsubasa’s illustration from the first comic cover—complete with a lid design of a challenge ball!

Tenugui Towels

Adding a touch of traditional craftsmanship, the popup also offers tenugui, lightweight yet durable Japanese cotton cloths that have been a staple in Japanese households for centuries. Known for their versatility, they can be used as hand towels, wrapping fabric, or even decorative items. Visitors can explore four popular designs that celebrate Japan’s textile heritage.

Additional Merchandise

The shop isn’t just about collaborations; it also includes affordable souvenirs like replica uniforms of Nankatsu SC and Meiwa FC, keychains, magnets, and leather tags. These items are sure to attract fans and collectors alike, making it a one-stop destination for memorable finds.

A Football Journey with Gol.

The popup store is featured alongside gol., a brand committed to capturing the essence of global football culture through its unique Football Journey theme. Each season, gol. embarks on a journey exploring different countries, and for 2025, their adventure takes them to Morocco—a land rich with diverse cultures and a booming local football scene.

From the stunning backdrop of the Sahara Desert to the lively streets where football passion runs high, gol. encapsulates this vibrant atmosphere through its meticulously designed items. The experience of Moroccan football—its energy and fervor—is infused into the products, inviting fans to explore the world of football dressed in style.
