This bilingual guide presents a thematic map of Japanese visual culture from a design perspective.
It features design museums, galleries, design spots, and shops in Tokyo recommended by the editors of Idea magazine and graphic designers working in Japan and abroad, with recommendations from the recommenders.
All pages are written in both Japanese and English for the enjoyment of non-Japanese readers.
The book covers about 70 institutions in seven areas of Tokyo. An A-Z index of facility names is included at the end of the book.
You can tour nearby facilities by area and locate the facility you are looking for.
In addition to its portable size, the book's cover can be turned inside out to create a large-format map, making it convenient for walking around the city.
Illustrated map packed with Tokyo's design icons
This book features approximately 140 museums, galleries, design shops, and other venues in eight areas of Tokyo.
The book also includes recommendations from practicing graphic designers and people in the design industry, so we urge you to read it, but what the editors put the most effort into was the illustrated map printed on the back cover.
