Pokémon’s 30th Anniversary Rug Collection Returns for Second Round of Pre-Orders

Artisanal interior brand MIYOSHI RUG has confirmed a second round of pre-orders for a popular collection of handmade household goods inspired by Pokémon.
The “MIYOSHI RUG x Pokémon COLLECTION” was first revealed back in March as part of celebrations for a massive milestone for the series.

The franchise is currently celebrating its 30th anniversary, marking three decades of catching, battling, and trading iconic creatures.

A number of other anniversary collaborations have recently been revealed, including a luxury travel accessory collection from RIMOWA, as well as the unveiling of the livery for two new Pokémon themed airplanes by Japanese airline ANA.

The series originally launched in 1996 and quickly became a worldwide phenomenon through incredibly popular video games, trading cards, and animated television broadcasts.

MIYOSHI RUG is a specialized brand that produces unique carpets using a traditional tufting technique.

Each piece is carefully crafted by hand by skilled artisans in Tokushima Prefecture, Japan, ensuring a high-quality and luxurious finish.

The collaboration was designed under the concept of “Living with Pokémon,” offering fans a cozy way to integrate the monsters into their daily lives.

The lineup consists of four designs featuring fan-favorite characters and items from the long-running series:
- PIKACHU RUG

This compact rug features the electric mouse and is designed to the size of a traditional Japanese zabuton cushion.
- METAMON/DITTO RUG

This uniquely shaped pink mat is perfectly sized to be placed as a welcoming accent at an entranceway or front door.
- POKÉBALL CHAIR RUG

This classic red and white circular design is specifically tailored to be used as a comfortable cover for seating.
- KABIGON/SNORLAX RUG

This massive centerpiece is created at a 1/1 scale to accurately represent the life-size dimensions of the sleeping giant.
Sales for the second wave of pre-orders for the handmade collection are being handled by a lottery system exclusively through the official MIYOSHI RUG app.

Applications for the lottery will be accepted from 9:00 PM (JST) on Sunday, May 31, until 9:00 PM (JST) on Tuesday, June 2, 2026.
The final results of the lottery are scheduled to be announced to participants between 12:00 PM (JST) and 6:00 PM (JST) on Thursday, June 4, 2026.
Deliveries of successful orders in this second wave are currently expected to begin in October 2026.
