ŸKijyuro Yahagi
A radiant, fluid Tokyo International Forum.
My wishes are that the Forum is a magnetic field attracting crowds.
Following the privatization of Tokyo International Forum in July, a complete overhaul was made of the sign posting. With the concept of "toward FORUM", the reformed Forum was advertised with vividly colored posters. The general direction of this campaign was held by Kijyuro Yahagi who has created countless outstanding pieces in a wide variety of genres, not only as a graphic designer but also as a photographer, architect, critic and editor. In this edition, we ask what lies behind the concept for the Tokyo International Forum and his thoughts and comments for his creative work.
