The Met houses over 5,000 years of art from every corner of the globe. Its mission to celebrate and preserve cultural heritage aligns perfectly with Kidrobot's innovative approach to designer toys. Through this partnership, Kidrobot reimagines the iconic Dunny as a canvas to bring Hokusai’s art to a wider audience, blending tradition with contemporary design.

Hokusai, best known for his iconic woodblock print The Great Wave off Kanagawa, was a master of ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art depicting everyday life and nature. His piece Rooster, Hen, and Chicken with Spiderwort captures a serene moment of domestic beauty, featuring a trio of birds amidst the delicate blooms of spiderwort flowers. The composition reflects Hokusai’s mastery of detail, movement, and harmony, celebrating the natural world with elegance and precision.

Kidrobot’s Dunny design pays tribute to this timeless work, translating its vibrant colors and intricate patterns into a collectible format. This collaboration is a testament to the enduring appeal of Hokusai’s art and the creativity of modern designer toy culture.

Whether you’re an art connoisseur or a dedicated toy collector, the Kidrobot x The Met Dunny is a celebration of history, artistry, and innovation—a piece that bridges the gap between centuries and mediums. Don’t miss the chance to own a piece of art history in a truly unique form!
