We are delighted to host an exhibition and workshop with graphic designer Daijiro Ohara.
We collaborated with Ohara earlier this spring on a series of order-made notebook covers, and are pleased to welcome him back.
The latest cover is inspired by everyday hand gestures, with movements like grasping, holding and pressing expressed in his unique linework. The exhibition offers the chance to take a close look at the original artworks and the creative process behind them.
We will also be presenting a workshop during the exhibition period, where participants will create an illustrated booklet with drawing guidance from Ohara. Each booklet will feature a cover with the artwork Hand Note, created exclusively for us by Ohara, and be spiral-bound on the spot.
Explore the joy of writing and drawing by hand while creating your own one-of-a-kind illustrated piece in this special workshop.
We hope you’ll join us.
