The official Pokémon store, Pokémon Center, is a massive hit everywhere, drawing huge crowds to its stores across Japan.
And they're not slowing down! Pokémon Center just announced a fresh collaboration with ceramic craft brand "Yakushigama" for a brand-new "Ceramic Ornament" series. Get ready for two adorable sets: Pikachu × Rapidash and Pikachu × Chingling, hitting shelves across all Japanese stores on November 29!
"Yakushigama" is a brand under the ceramic workshop "Chugai Toen," renowned for crafting traditional Japanese auspicious figures like maneki-neko (lucky cats), zodiac animals, and Hina dolls. Founded in 1952, the brand draws its heritage from the over thousand-year-old pottery culture of Seto City in Aichi Prefecture.
Their products brilliantly blend the "Seto Ceramic Technique," a traditional pottery method passed down in Seto since the Meiji era, with modern aesthetics. The result? Exquisite pieces brimming with blessings and good fortune. They've been collaborating with Pokémon Center annually, last year bringing us Ekans & Pawmi ceramic art for the Year of the Snake.
This year's collaboration is all about ushering in the "Year of the Horse" for 2026! They've picked the majestic Rapidash, perfectly embodying the spirit of the horse, and the festive Chingling, radiating all those New Year vibes. These are set to be the most fitting Pokémon New Year decorations for 2026. Both ceramic ornaments are meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans, making each piece incredibly detailed and highly collectible.
