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.

Yamanashi is unlike anyplace else.

Lying roughly at the center of Japan, Yamanashi is mostly mountains apart from the Kofu Basin. There’s little to mark the delicious bakeries, inviting hot springs, and unbelievably tasty soba shops other than the small signs out on the street. The people here seem content with this understatement, saving their best for those who are in the know.

One Note on the Cover : Grape-Picking Angel

Suzuki-en, a winery inn, contains all the attractive elements of Yamanashi. We used the woodcut print by Akira Suzuki, the owner of Suzuki-en for the cover of this issue because it captured everything we felt about the prefecture offered: initiative, simple, earnest but full of sense of humor, and design. The signs of shops in this prefecture are small; self-effacing residents of Yamanashi are indifferent to trying to market themselves—as if to say that only people who understand Yamanashi should come, and the people here tend to do what they believe to be right and nothing else. I've come to love this place where people cultivate the wild field, where they create graceful products.

*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.
