In celebration of the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum’s 100th anniversary in 2026, Tokujin Yoshioka has designed a commemorative logo.

In 2011, Tokujin Yoshioka also designed the museum’s emblematic logo. Inspired by the cube-shaped architecture designed by Kunio Maekawa in 1975, the logo was created to be approachable and welcoming to people from around the world.

For the 100th anniversary logo, the design reflects the hope that the museum will continue to develop as a beloved art hub, both in Japan and internationally.

UNIQLO’s charity T-shirt project, PEACE FOR ALL, is dedicated to promoting global peace through meaningful action.

As of the end of July 2025, a total of 8,266,204 T-shirts have been sold worldwide, including the design contributed by Tokujin Yoshioka. The total profit of ¥2,479,861,200 has been fully donated to international aid organizations.

We sincerely thank everyone for their support and cooperation in this initiative.

We are pleased to announce that Tokujin Yoshioka designed the new flagship store PLEATS PLEASE ISSEY MIYAKE / AOYAMA.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Tokujin Yoshioka has a long history with the PLEATS PLEASE brand, including the creation of its logo and the design of its flagship stores. The new PLEATS PLEASE ISSEY MIYAKE / AOYAMA store brings to life Tokujin Yoshioka’s unwavering vision of a translucent space featuring a striking combination of glass clad in aluminum.

The “Pleats Wall” installed on the ground floor displays freshly made pleats from the factory like works of art, visually conveying the beauty of the brand’s signature pleating technique and production process. Structured hanger racks, specially designed to make the clothing appear to be floating, express the lightness of PLEATS PLEASE products. Inside transparent glass cases, PLEATS PLEASE garments are arranged in a playful rolled display.

"Cocoon" — A Light Sculpture

Tokujin Yoshioka has long explored light as a material, creating numerous works that embody its essence.
In 2025, Mita Garden Hills was completed in the heart of Tokyo — an architectural project that weaves together history and the future. Within this space stands Tokujin Yoshioka’s sculptural work, Cocoon.
The radiant mirrored form symbolizes the energy of life. Reflecting nature while transcending the viewer’s senses, it invites a heightened awareness of the world around us.
Shaped like a cocoon, the monumental, flowing curves of stainless steel catch and reflect the sunlight. They mirror the passage of time and the changing rhythms of nature, emitting a glow that resonates with the surrounding environment.
This sculpture of light stands as a symbol — connecting nature, humanity, and the future.
