d design travel SHIZUOKA
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 can-do mentality.
Shizuoka doesn’t need to be center stage. Tokyo can play that role. This is the place where new and original ideas are born, ideas that amaze and astonish. That’s the feeling I get. Someone once told me that the people of Shizuoka have a can-do mentality. For me, that “try anything” spirit is a source of endless excitement.
One Note on the Cover : "Clematis no Oka 15th Anniversary Design"
The cover is an abstract expression of what we outsiders experienced when walking, eating, staying, and chatting with people in Shizuoka. Choosing it was the most nerve-wracking part of making this book. Manufacturing that reaches the level of new inventions, the "Yaramai ka" spirit of trying new things out, fishing grounds full of energy, tea with Mt. Fuji in the clear sky, the teamwork of residents, brightness and creativity...We thought that the illustration Yoshie Watanabe (from the Tokyo creative team "KIGI") had made for Clematis no Oka captured all of this.
*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.
