Contemporary Artist Takuma Fujisaki Unveils MOLnarrative...

Japanese contemporary artist Takuma Fujisaki, represented by ARTOX GROUP, has launched his solo exhibition "MOLnarrative" at GINZA ATRIUM inside Ginza Tsutaya Books in Tokyo. Running from August 29 through September 15, 2026, the 18-year retrospective showcases Fujisaki's evolution of pipe cleaner sculptures alongside high-fashion collaborations and new art toy debuts.

Tokyo's Ginza district is hosting a major retrospective celebrating two decades of unconventional material sculpture. Located on the 6th floor of the GINZA SIX retail and cultural complex, GINZA ATRIUM at Ginza Tsutaya Books presents "MOLnarrative," an immersive exhibition chronicling Takuma Fujisaki’s 18-year career transforming everyday pipe cleaners into complex three-dimensional characters, art toys, and wearable fashion sculptures.

MOLnarrative Retrospective and the MOGOLS Creative Universe

The exhibition arranges Fujisaki's work along a chronological timeline, tracing how his creative practice evolved from small-scale Tokyo workshops organized in 2010 into a globally recognized artistic universe known as MOGOLS.

By utilizing the flexibility, tactile texture, and vibrant hues of standard craft pipe cleaners, Fujisaki forms detailed sculptures that bridge pop culture, character design, and fine art. The MOGOLS universe has expanded beyond physical gallery pieces into soft vinyl (SOFVI) art figures and international collectible culture.

High-Fashion Collaborations and Product Launches

COMME des GARÇONS HOMME Partnership: In August 2026, Fujisaki collaborated with Japanese fashion house COMME des GARÇONS HOMME for their Autumn/Winter 2026 collection. The project, titled "COMME des GARÇONS HOMME × TAKUMA FUJISAKI MOGOLS," introduced handmade art charms crafted entirely from black pipe cleaners, designed as wearable art attachments for apparel and bags.
MOGOLGON Origin DX 26cm Debut: Concurrently with the exhibition, ARTOX GROUP will officially launch the MOGOLGON Origin DX 26cm collectible SOFVI figure on September 15, 2026. The 26-centimeter art toy adapts Fujisaki’s original pipe cleaner character into a manufactured soft vinyl collectible, available via ARTOX GROUP's digital platform.

Tax-Free Purchasing for Tourists: International visitors purchasing original merchandise, art books, or collectible figures at Ginza Tsutaya Books can present their foreign passports at designated GINZA SIX tax-refund counters (1st Floor) to claim Japan's 10% consumption tax exemption on qualifying goods.
