Which has lead me to this Japanese designer, as his work is published in the previously mentioned book by Bucher, his style varies from piece to piece although you can see reoccurring themes and techniques such as his love for typography and mixing it with photographical elements.
During his career he has had various jobs and some high profile design companies however he didn’t feel like he could express himself through his work at these establishments. This is what lead him to create his typographies, a collection of personal work which displays various form of typographic material from 3D letters photographed for magazines to hand drawn letter forms.
One aspect I did find interesting about this designer is his refusal to use computers he will design for this form of media however his artworks will be finalised by someone else, a strange way of working in what is becoming a very digital world.
This following piece is for a Japanese artist Ryuichi Sakamoto, for which he has completed various sleeve designs and it is here you can see his homage to one of the designers which first got him interested in the industry…
