It has a long and distinguished history as an international organization that has created a range of design awards and that presents award-winning works from 1944 to the present in digital and print formats.

NEW YEAR'S CARDS FROM 100CREATORS VOL.15

It has become a customary plan of the New Year.
Mihoncho Honten is holding volume 15 of the exhibition, “New Year’s Cards from 100 creators,” from
January 28th (Tuesday) to February 28th (Friday), 2020.

The exhibition is being held in three locations throughout the country: in Tokyo, Osaka, and Fukuoka.
At these locations, you can enjoy the creators’ New Year’s messages, which will be laid out on paper and designs.

On display at the Tokyo venue will be New Year’s cards that were designed by OUWN Ishiguro.
Because everyone is familiar with New Year’s cards, we think that this is an exhibition that can be fully enjoyed by everyone: by people who are interested in design and printing, of course, but also by ordinary persons.
We definitely want you to come and enjoy the exhibition.

LECTURED IN DESIGNPLEX

In one of the special classes of the Tokyo Designplex Institute located in Shibuya, Mr. Ishiguro from OUWN gave a lecture.

It became a unique lecture with an interesting twist to it,
beginning with the title “The connecting meals that restaurant OUWN produces,” its content being strongly influenced by Mr. Ishiguro’s personal experience as he often gets his inspiration from cooking and food.

In the workshop,
he let the participants share the experience of finding out how to expand their ideas by exchanging them and by combining everyday techniques with some special methods.

We want to thank the many students that participated for their willing attendance.

About

OUWN was founded as a corporation in 2013 by Atsushi Ishiguro and Munechika Fujita. The name stems from our hope to foster interaction, dialogue, and feelings between our owns and yours ( "own" + "u" ) through designing.
In addition to art direction, OUWN’s activities extend into many different fields such as graphics, web, fashion, visual, logo, and other types of design.

With a variety of nice dialogue with you as a "dot", OUWN wishes that dots will connect down the road.
