POPUPASIA® Milestone｜Our Name Is Now Officially Recognized in Japan
☆ About POPUPASIA®
Since 2016, POPUPASIA® has been dedicated to building a creative ecosystem for Asia — connecting thousands of handmade brands, creators, and partners through exhibitions, collaborations, and cross-cultural exchanges.
☆ POPUPASIA® × Japan: Collaboration with minne Handmade Market
One of POPUPASIA®’s most memorable experiences in Japan was partnering with minne Handmade Market, the country’s largest handmade platform powered by GMO Pepabo.
With over 880,000 creators and 15 million works, minne represents the heart of Japan’s handmade culture. Through this collaboration, POPUPASIA® led Taiwanese brands to showcase their work in Japan for the first time — offering them the chance to exhibit, join business matchmaking, and even list products on the minne e-commerce platform.
This was not only an entry into the Japanese market but also a valuable cultural exchange, deepening the bridge between Asian creators and Japanese consumers.
