d design travel KANAGAWA
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.
"A port that opens up the future"
There is a saying in Yokohama: "Live here three days and you're a Yokohaman." The city has a relatively short history, but this fosters strong local pride and ambition among its citizens. And just like Yokohama, other towns and villages throughout Kanagawa have the open-mindedness needed to accept outsiders. It is the most diverse prefecture I've ever explored for this publication- a fusion of highly diverse elements crystallized into a true treasure trove of design.
(By Hideto Shindo / Editor-in-Chief)
One Note on the Cover : "Queen Mary 2" by Ryohei Yanagihara (Ariake Harbor)
Ryohei Yanagihara was a Yokohama illustrator known for his love of ships.
The greatness of Kanagawa, as well as the love that appears in the ships and people drawn by Mr. Yanagihara, gradually led to the "Kanagawa-ness" during the two months of interviews conducted. His drawing for "Harbor," a famous snack of Ariake, is like a scene from a "voyage of life" for all Kanagawa locals - all roads lead to Rome, and a bright future lies ahead.
*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.
