Japanese creation has been receiving much attention in many fields – Manga, animated film, product design, industrial design, architecture, etc. However, we don’t see so much Japanese illustration and surface design used outside Japan. There are so many talented Japanese illustrators and surface designers but they have been recognized only in the Japanese market. We wanted to change this situation, and decided to start a new project. We are aiming at spreading Japanese illustration and surface design around the world!
