Kirari: I’d love to see those cryptid silhouettes as plush works up close. I’m already imagining where one could sit on my shelf.
Nea: I’d like to compare the plush works with the miniature figures. Which details keep a yeti or tsuchinoko looking endearingly strange when it’s made smaller?
A plush-art world inspired by yeti and tsuchinoko
Artist Honami Sato began YAKOU (夜行) in 2017 as a project centered on plush works. Her designs draw on cryptids such as yeti and tsuchinoko, giving these mysterious creatures a humorous, endearing character.
The pop-up’s planned selection includes plush artworks in limited quantities, stickers and other related goods.
The mascot figures arrived before the pop-up
YAKOU Figure Mascot launched in Japan on October 8, 2026. The capsule edition costs ¥500 per figure, while the boxed edition costs ¥550 per figure; both prices include tax.
Sales channels include capsule-toy outlets, hobby shops and online stores across Japan.
Where to find the pop-up—and when it closes
YAKOU POPUP in Kenelebunshitsu runs from Sunday, October 25, through Tuesday, November 17, 2026, at Kenelebunshitsu on the second floor of ecute EDITION Ochanomizu. It will be open every day during the event.
Hours are 10:00–21:00 on weekdays and 10:00–20:00 on weekends and public holidays. On the final day, November 17, only the pop-up space has a 19:00 closing time.
If you have a particular plush work or figure in mind, check availability with the shop before visiting, as figure rollout may change by retailer. For pop-up announcements, keep an eye on Kenelebunshitsu’s official Instagram.
