More Details in Japanese

To communicate charms of the Tohoku region through power of design, Tohoku Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry and JAGDA called for package design proposals for 10 products from the region among designers across Japan to coordinate outstanding proposals for practical use.
Its goal is to support the sales promotion and branding of processed food of the region, and to help managers of SMEs, who did not have opportunities to work with designers, recognize the value of design. In the course of commercialise the awarded designs, SMEs and designers receive advice from IP experts and are encouraged to exchange written contracts on attributes of rights and condition of use of designs such as design fee.
Thus we hope the products with renewed packages will contribute actual sales of the products as a way of reconstruction assistance.
The exhibition of selected works, held in Sendai and Tokyo, were favourably reviewed by visitors and covered by various media such as newspapers, magazines, radio and so on.

JAGDA collaborated with UCLA and Waseda University to create a poster series commemorating the launch of their joint research “Yanai Initiative Japanese Performing Arts Program.”
In 1981 UCLA produced a poster series for its Asian Performing Arts Summer Institute with the late design critic Masaru Katzumie as a curator. For the 2017 edition, the same theme was revisited after 36 years.
The eleven posters were premiered in May to the LA audience in conjunction with the Kyogen performance by Mansaku and Mansai Nomura. Further details of the exhibitions in Japan and abroad will be posted.
