Takeru Amano — Venus Klein Blue, 2024

This piece is a special Sofubi edition, made in Japan, of Takeru Amano’s iconic Venus. Limited to 25 copies, it is finished in a vivid Klein blue with a distinctive velvet texture — the result of an exclusive collaboration between Sato Gallery and Takeru Amano. Each piece comes with a soft linen pouch adorned with blue embroidery. Sofubi, short for “soft vinyl”, first appeared in the 1950s and has since become a highly sought-after collector’s object. Traditionally depicting superheroes, folklore and pop culture icons, this limited edition reinterprets a modern masterpiece through the refined lens of Japanese craft and artistry. A true collector’s piece.
