    Japanese Graphic Design: Not in Production
    Ian Lynam, Tokyo-based graphic designer, writes a seven-part series on contemporary Japanese graphic design for the Japan-focused art/culture blog, Néojaponisme.

    “Japanese Graphic Design: Not in Production focuses on the activities of highly active designers, type foundries, distributors/retail spaces and Japanese design publications from the past ten years. The goal of this section is to help promote cognizance of graphic design activity in Japan — acknowledgement of such activity is often hindered by the linguistic and social differences between Japan and the rest of the world, yet this gap is lessening.”
