New visuals for GINZA SIX will be revealed in early September 2018 in the underground passage connecting the shopping complex with Ginza Station, and on the Ginza Station platforms.

Based on a mushroom motif, the visuals have a mysterious attraction that draws people to them. Instead of conveying a specific message, they gently communicate the high-class and unstressed atmosphere of GINZA SIX, naturally and memorably boosting friendly feelings toward the complex.
The letter G appears six times in each mushroom graphic as a simile for GSIX.

The Minamiza Theater in Kyoto reopens in November 2018.
To mark this new start, we created a new symbol mark and logotype for the theater. The symbol mark uses the "Minami" character in a clear, pared-down form, morphed into a shape that resembles the iconic exterior of the theater. Its color, the symbol color, is the crimson that is used prominently in the new interior. Inspired by the symbolic and condensed aesthetics of Kabuki, we created this in a crest-like form to provide a powerful visual. The "Kyo to" phrase alongside the logo invokes both the theater's location in present-day Kyoto and its development in conjunction with the old capital ("Kyo"), communicating Minamiza's commitment to continue playing a role in the ongoing history of the city of its birth. The mark and logo are used on shopping bags, furoshiki wrapping cloths and versatile tenugui cloths. When the theater reopens, they will become an essential element of a visit to Kyoto.

Following its successful shows at Japan House São Paulo and Japan House Los Angeles, the TAKEO PAPER SHOW "SUBTLE" exhibition is now on show at Japan House London, the third and final Japan House location.
In London, the exhibits from São Paulo and Los Angeles are complemented by Shishiodoshi, which was created by Kenya Hara in 2007 for the "water" exhibition at 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT in Tokyo.
To mark the opening of the exhibition, Hara delivered standing-room-only lectures at Japan House on December 12 and at the Royal College of Art on December 13.
TAKEO PAPER SHOW "SUBTLE: Delicate or Infinitesimal" runs until Monday December 24, 2018 at Japan House London.

Dojima Sake Brewery brews sake in England on the estate of the Fordham Abbey manor house, outside the city of Cambridge.
For the Dojima Sake Brewery project, we handled the overall brand acceleration strategy, including naming, logos, packaging, photography, video, leaflets, website, and much more.
This new international face for sake embodies the essence of Dojima Sake Brewery: born in the United Kingdom, carrying the legacy of Japanese culture and ideas.

Following the HOUSE VISION exhibitions in Tokyo in 2013 and 2016, the third exhibition is in Beijing, presenting ten houses in front of the Bird's Nest. Today, the people of Beijing are rapidly adopting new ways of living, as mobile-payments drive the growth of food delivery, bike-sharing, ride-sharing, and many other services. The city's face is continually changing. In this dynamic environment we wonder what sort of lifestyles people desire. When they find happiness, what sort of shape it will take? And will preferences for universal solutions remain unshaken? The ten houses presented have been conceived by some of China's leading companies in collaboration with up-and-coming architects and creative professionals. Each gives visitors the opportunity to experience a solid vision of a potential future, sharing practical ideas for an area that is one of today's growth points.

The third Japan House opened on Kensington High Street in London on June 21, 2018, following the Japan Houses in Los Angeles and São Paulo.

Prince William, The Duke of Cambridge, attended the grand opening of Japan House London on the September 13th, 2018.

The new Japan House was created by revitalizing an art deco building. Spread over three floors, it includes an exhibition gallery and a retail floor presenting carefully selected craftworks and household goods. In addition to a coffee and tea bar, there is a Japanese restaurant, Akira, named after chef Akira Shimizu, and facilities such as a flexible seminar hall and a library full of Japanese books.

Architectural design is the work of interior designer Masamichi Katayama.
Kenya Hara is the chief creative director for the Japan House project.

Honoring the unryu form of dohyo-iri (entering the grounds),
The marks symbolize "bu" (warriorship) and "unryu" (dragon in the clouds).
The kesho-mawashi are woven brilliantly with silver stitching on a dark navy background.
They have already been presented to the public in the Sumiyoshi Shrine and Osaka,
but we are anxiously waiting to see them again when the yokozuna,
for whom this was made, makes a healthy comeback.

TAKEO PAPER SHOW "SUBTLE--Delicate or Infinitesimal" is now on show at Japan House Los Angeles,
whose gallery and shop has pre-opened in December 2017.

Kenya Hara also hosted a special lecture for students and alumna of UCLA,
as well as a talk event with the editor in chief of SURFACE MAGAZINE as a tie-up event with the magazine.
