Create Your One-and-Only Sofubi Figure in Tokyo
Sofubi (soft vinyl figures) are a beloved part of Japanese subculture.
Usually made by skilled artisans through steps like molding and painting, it's rare for the public to try the process themselves.
At UCHOTEN FACTORY, a sofubi workshop in Tokyo, you can enjoy this unique hands-on experience—create your own sofubi figure in about 4 hours and take it home the same day.
Using the mold of our original character “Bunshin-chan,” you'll go through: Design → Molding → Painting → Packaging — all by hand.
The session also includes a brief intro to the history and making of sofubi, adding context and fun.
