Ryosuke Uehara of Kigi, Yuni Yoshida,
and other art directors who must not go unnoticed when speaking of contemporary graphic design are also featured in the special report.

“New Year’s Cards from 100 Creators” Exhibition vol.14 [official link]

This exhibition will display New Year’s postcards that creators have sent in to the specialist paper trading company Takeo Co., Ltd.
This year will be our first attempt at working with local creators to hold simultaneous exhibitions at Takeo locations throughout the country: Yodoyabashi MIHONCHO, Fukuoka MIHONCHO, and of course the flagship MIHONCHO HONTEN location.
The MIHONCHO HONTEN location will also exhibit New Year’s cards designed by Mr. Ishiguro of Creative Studio OUWN.
This year’s design makes use of seldom seen gold leaf to create finely worked, minuscule foil renderings.
Members of the public and design and print enthusiasts alike are sure to love our exhibitions of this familiar item — the New Year’s card.
We hope you enjoy both the cards and the New Year’s wishes written on them by their creators.

BOOK BOX / DOT TRIP EXHIBITION

On the 1st book floor of the 2nd building of the Daikanyama Tsutaya Store, there is a BOOK BOX, a box shaped bookshelf that introduces readers to current prominent creators.

It is currently exhibiting the exhibit “Book jackets you can feel” in collaboration with the magazine Brain, published by Senden Kaigi.
The title is “Dot Trip Exhibition”.
Through the designer Atsushi Ishiguro’s “book jackets that can be felt”, the feelings of going on a journey of thought with the expressions of a book are linked with the actual journey of experiencing a new sensation.
These book jackets invite readers into the world of books.

Mr. Ishiguro has designed and will be exhibiting and selling numerous kinds of book jackets that emphasize both design and content,
so that readers may go on many different kinds of trips.

Exhibition Opening September 1, 2019 at the Daikanyama Tsutaya Bookstore, Building 2, Floor 1

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.
