Graphic Design

A flyer for an event held at Sanmitsudo Bookstore, an antique bookstore established in the early Taisho period and located in Shijo Kawaramachi, Kyoto. The flyer samples the style of advertisement sections and previews from monthly magazines of the 70s. It is placed sparsely at the top left of a large sheet, evoking the feel of an ad that appears as one turns the pages.
As a special gift for participants, the illustration part was made into a zinc plate, and bookmarks were actually produced using a letterpress printing machine. The back of the bookmark features an NFT tag, which functions as an archive device allowing attendees to view a playlist of songs played during the event.
The photograph composition was based on the commonality between a club event and an antique bookstore, focusing on the new encounters with books at the bookstore and new songs at the event, as well as the passing of books from person to person and the weaving of songs by DJs. The photographs were taken by Taishi Tani, with Soya Ogawara as the model.
