Pictograms: Iconic Japanese Designs
本質のかたち
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 (light cotton hand towels used for various purposes, from wrapping books to lunch boxes) adorned with icons representing Japan. The collection also 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 with pictograms specific to Japan.
