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.
Like a Gentle Breeze, Ever Abiding
With only a handful of tourist spots like Dogo Onsen and the Shimanami Kaido, Ehime has relied on its traditional craftmanship rather than tourism to preserve its way of life.
Speaking of design, there seem to be relatively few designers in Ehime. We chalk it up to the lack of tourism. But the fact is, the Internet is growing and there aren't enough people to carry on traditions, and so demand is slowly starting to rise. Young people are moving to Ehime and injecting new life into the prefecture's design scene. They respect those who came before them, and they get that some things are best left as they are. But they're experimenting with a more "symbiotic" form of design, marked by deliberately refined ideas that avoid making too many waves. We felt that movement, more than anything else, captures the essence of Ehime.
One Note on the Cover : "Wakamono" by Umetaro Azechi (1902-1999)
Everywhere you go in Ehime, time seems to pass like a gentle breeze—in the mountains, in the seas, in the towns. This idyllic place is where Umetaro Azechi spent his childhood. He expressed his own innermost feelings in "Mountain Men" series. The young woman depicted in Wakamono, seems almost like a female representation of Iyo itself. It's striking in its serenity and its transparency, and there's something endearing about it that captures the essence of the Ehime I encountered during my journey.
*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.
