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.
Mountains and seas, people Buddha: In Toyama, everything is connected.
In Toyama, everything (food, art, religion, traditional industries) is connected. The blessings they receive from one another, the way they intermingle and evolve, help give Toyama its rich, unique character. Toyama's design, and its culture, are nurtured by the gratitude in its people's hearts.
One Note on the Cover : Saiha no Saku (Festive Eddy Pattern), Shiko Munakata (1903-1975)
Toyama's design, and its culture, are nurtured by the mutual gratitude in its people's hearts. This unique local character is surely what Shiko Munakata felt when he said that his time as an evacuee in Fukumitsu was like studying in a foreign country. This is one of 24 panels from in praise of Kanjiro Kawai's kiln "Shokei", he created during his stay in Toyama. As he himself learned, there surely is power hidden in this land.
*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.
