Sofubi in Vietnam: Junky Station Leading the Way!

In recent years, sofubi – the art of Japanese soft vinyl toys originating in the 1960s – has seen a surge in global popularity. More than collectibles, sofubi are miniature works of art, blending craftsmanship, folklore, and the personal visions of their creators. In Vietnam, this movement is still young but expanding rapidly. At the heart of this growth is Junky Station, a sofubi art toy store and mini-gallery in Ho Chi Minh City. Founded by William, Junky Station is more than just a retail space — it has become a cultural hub where international artists connect with Vietnamese collectors, and where local creativity is nurtured and celebrated.

Bridging Cultures Through Sofubi
Through curated drops, exhibitions, and events, Junky Station has been instrumental in bringing sofubi culture closer to Vietnam. By fostering conversations between artists and fans, the gallery is helping transform sofubi from a niche passion into a recognized part of the country’s contemporary art scene.

Yokai Exhibition with Demoncraft
This October, Junky Station will mark another milestone with the Yokai Exhibition, presented in collaboration with Demoncraft, a renowned sofubi brand celebrated for its dark and imaginative reinterpretations of Japanese yokai.

The exhibition will transport visitors into an immersive world where folklore collides with vinyl art. Attendees can expect to experience limited edition releases, intricate character design, and the raw energy that makes sofubi such a unique art form.
