d design travel KAGOSHIMA
Made in
Japan
d design travel is a series of guidebooks that introduces each of the 47 prefecture's "long-lasting individuality" or "uniqueness" from an artistic viewpoint. In each series, the editorial team spends 2 months traveling around each prefecture and features articles on experiences that impressed them.
"One big island, as a ship withstanding the waves."
The people of Kagoshima have always dreamed of a better future lying beyond the vast seas. Their interactions with the outside world combined to create a culture unlike any other, weathering the changing times like a ship riding the waves of a rough sea: the maritime state of Satsuma. Watched over by the imposing figure of Sakurajima, the ship of Kagoshima leads the way for Japan.
(Editor-in-Chief)
One Note on the Cover : Nobuko Onaga / Mikio Hamada
Kagoshima found glory in adapting technologies from across the ocean to help build Japan's modern state. Shobu Gakuen has captured that spirit with this free-form, avant-garde depiction of a sea that transcends convention. The mixed-art piece, which fuses the Nobuko Onaga artwork of the original issue with new work by Mikio Hamada, was painted on the door of the facility's workshop. It brings to mind an island, or perhaps a ship, in the midst of a torrid sea—perfect for the cover of our revamped Kagoshima issue.
*The books are written in Japanese and English.
"Traveling long life design"
D&DEPARTMENT PROJECT, which works on the theme of "Long-Life Design", has selected the long-lasting "individuality" and "character" of each of the 47 prefectures from a design perspective and compiled them into a tourist guide called "d design travel".
"d design travel" presents only those things that have truly impressed the reader from the perspective of "long-life design" after traveling to the area as if the editors lived there. The "long-lasting things" and "local characteristics" that have taken root in each prefecture are selected and published as "d-mark reviews" in six categories, such as sights, restaurants, cafes, shops, hotels, and people.
"d design travel" is not an ordinary guidebook full of information, but a design travel series that introduces places that have a vitality and a message from the local area that will last even 10 years, confirmed by the sense of D&DEPARTMENT.
