Although held without spectators, the TOKYO 2020 Games saw the Japanese team achieve a record-breaking 58 medals: 27 gold, 14 silver, and 17 bronze. Many likely cheered on athletes from Japan and around the world on television, especially given it was a home Games. Why not preserve these cherished Olympic memories with a luxurious Arita ware BE@RBRICK?

A thrilling 17 days saw approximately 11,000 athletes from 205 countries and regions compete in 339 events across 33 sports. The 32nd Olympic Games were held in Tokyo, for the first time since 1964, from July 23 to August 8, 2021.

This release marks the second collaboration between BE@RBRICK and Arita ware, a representative Japanese traditional craft. It's a new iteration of the TOKYO 2020 OFFICIAL LICENSED PRODUCT released last year to great acclaim—a BE@RBRICK designed with the Tokyo 2020 Olympic emblem.

Arita town in Saga Prefecture is historically significant as the birthplace of Japanese porcelain production in the early 17th century. Arita ware refers to the porcelain produced primarily in this region. During the Edo period, porcelain fired in Arita was exported from the port of Imari, leading to its popularization as Imari ware. However, from the Meiji era onwards, it came to be known as Arita ware, named after its production area.

The "Arita Ware BE@RBRICK 400% 2 (Tokyo 2020 Olympic Emblem)" is a commemorative model featuring a deep navy body, symbolizing nobility, and adorned with a resplendent gold brocade pattern on its ears, arms, and legs. We invite you to add this exquisite piece to your collection.
