"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.
KYOTO Issue : Changing at its own pace, with its own rhythm.
Power can be seized by force, fortunes can be amassed through plunder, but the people of Kyoto will never let outsiders take their city from them. Long and slender like its streets and rivers, subdued and yet never fading, the essence of Kyoto lies in its stubborn adherence to its own eternal sense of time.
One Note on the Cover : "Yatsuhashi" by Sekka Kamisaka (1866-1942)
I learned of Sekka Kamisaka, an artist from Meiji and Showa eras, at Unsodo, a publisher of woodblock printing in Kyoto. Sekka took the traditional process and motifs and rendered them from an avant-garde sensibility. Traditional motifs of "Yatsuhashi (Eight Bridges)" and "Kakitsubata (Irises)" landscapes which have been drawn by artists such as Kōrin Ogata and Hōitsu Sakai were made startlingly modern by Sekka with bold strokes and vivid use of blue and green. We used the close-up of this painting for the cover of Kyoto issue. Even after 80 years, this painting is quite modern. (Osamu Kuga)
*The books are written in Japanese and English.
**The cover design and total number of pages are the same between this book and the previous one (published in 2015).
"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.
