As “a-We,” the mascot of the Ministry of Culture’s (MOC) cultural program “We Taiwan” at Expo 2025 in Osaka, garnered worldwide attention, the MOC announced the release of a-We LINE stickers on Jan. 30.
Much like the evolution of Taiwan’s main island, a-We is a fictional creature born from the collision of the Philippine Sea Plate and the Eurasian Plate. Symbolizing resilience and optimism, it embodies a bubble of hope, emerging from hardship and constantly transfiguring in its quest for means of survival.
According to the MOC, following the conclusion of Expo 2025, a-We has continued to serve as a cultural ambassador for Taiwan overseas. Representing Taiwan’s heavy metal music, the mascot appeared at the F:F:F—Formosa : Finland : Fest music festival dressed in black. To extend a-We’s presence beyond temporal and spatial boundaries, the MOC has launched official a-We LINE stickers to accompany people in their everyday lives.
With four sets of stickers planned for release this year, the first edition features scenarios drawn from daily life. Subsequent editions will highlight themes including “baseball,” “islanders,” and “miracle.”
