Pictograms: Iconic Japanese Designs
Pictograms shape how we navigate the world, from maps and texts to museum signs and emojis. Pictograms: Iconic Japanese Designs explores Japan’s significant role in the development of this visual language, from the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games to the global rise of ‘emoji’.
Discover the collection accompanying the exhibition, featuring porcelain plates and magnets decorated with symbols representing Tokyo, as well as vibrant tenugui (hand towels) adorned with icons representing Japan. The collection includes a collaboration with Nippon Design Center–
a global design agency supporting the development of the Japanese economy through design–presenting greeting cards, postcards, stickers, and T-shirts depicting pictograms specific to Japan.
