This book is a collection of 5 products with excellent designs representing 47 prefectures all over Japan, 5 in each prefecture, and a total of 235 items.
From traditional crafts to super-modern designs, every land has its own unique products.
By feeling the current state of Japanese “manufacturing” through these “products,” it will be an opportunity to recapture Japan’s individuality, design, and regional manufacturing, and rediscover Japan.
As a privilege of the book version, “Travel + DESIGN” is posted at the end of the book, and “Design Travel Guide” by 47 prefectures is posted.
A travel guide for the Nagaoka Kenmei Selection, where you can fully enjoy sightseeing, food, and inn design in 2 days and 1 night, is included.
