Illustrators’ Views:
Design Possibilities from Tokyo
插畫視角：東京的設計可能
Introduction｜前言
In Tokyo, illustration, design, and daily life take many forms. The Tokyoiter captures the city through cover art, JAGDA’s Yusaku Kamekura New Designer Award highlights emerging voices, and in Yokohama’s Koganecho, artists and residents revive spaces so creativity continues to flow through the city.
在東京，插畫、設計與生活以不同方式展開。《The Tokyoiter》用封面繪畫捕捉城市氛圍，讓插畫成為觀察的入口。JAGDA 「龜倉佑作新人獎」展覽呈現新銳設計師的視覺語言。橫濱黃金町的駐村計畫，藝術家與居民讓空間重獲生命，使城市裡的創造力得以延續。

Creative Openings｜創作的開端
Whether beginners or professional creators, everyone can explore new forms of expression through the many facets of painting. The pursuit of vivid color goes beyond intuition, carrying dreams, passion, effort, and a long history.
無論是初學者，還是專業創作者，都能在繪畫的多樣形式中探索新的表達方式。
對鮮明色彩的追求，不僅依靠直覺，更承載著夢想、熱情、努力與悠久的歷史。
Living Galleries｜日常中的藝廊
A gallery is redefined: no longer limited to white cubes for art, but extended to design-focused spaces in streets, residencies, and ggg. Wherever creators set the frame, everyday places can become stages where design takes the lead.
「藝廊」被重新定義：不再侷限於藝術的白盒子，而是延伸到街區、駐村與 ggg 等以設計為核心的場域。
只要由創作者界定，日常空間也能成為設計的舞台。
The Tokyoiter
Cover Stories
The Tokyoiter turns moments of Tokyo into striking covers. We sketched imagined views, met founders David Robert (France) and Andrew Joyce (UK), and saw works by local creators. For many non-full-time illustrators, cover design is a way back to pure creation and dialogue.
封面故事
《The Tokyoiter》將東京片刻化為鮮明封面。我們描繪想像，並與創辦人 David Robert、Andrew Joyce 交流、欣賞在地作品。對多數非全職插畫家而言，創作是回到純粹與交流的方式。
Urban Layers
New and old elements converge—this is what The Tokyoiter represents.
城市疊影
新與舊的交融，正是《The Tokyoiter》所展現的面貌。
Creative Voices
From childhood fragments to ukiyo-e or Akihabara, each work reveals diverse tensions and emotions.
創作語彙
從童年片段到浮世繪、秋葉原，每一件作品都展現出張力與情緒。
Crossing Paths
Covers bring together different lives and voices in a shared language.
路徑交會
封面讓不同生活與聲音在共同語言裡交會。
Illustration in Residence
Koganecho
Another path for illustrators—the artist residency program. Here, participants worked with iwa-enogu mineral pigments, colors used from Western frescoes to Japanese painting, and after learning their origins, hand-crafted pigments of their own.
駐村插畫：橫濱黃金町
插畫創作者的另一種選擇──藝術家駐村計畫。在這裡，學員體驗 iwa-enogu 礦物顏料，這些色彩自西洋壁畫到日本繪畫皆有運用，並在理解其來源後，親手調製屬於自己的顏料。
JAGDA
Emerging Voices
At ggg, Japan’s highest stage for design, the JAGDA Yusaku Kamekura New Designer Award showcased how beauty emerges in subtle details. Across posters, books, images, and packaging, it highlighted refined aesthetics and the integration of illustration and design.
JAGDA：新銳之聲
在 ggg（銀座平面畫廊），作為日本設計的最高舞台，JAGDA 龜倉佑作新人獎展覽展現了細節中的美。從海報、書籍、圖像到包裝，各展區凸顯獨到的美學講究，以及插畫與設計的融合。
From Illustration to Design Futures｜從插畫走向設計未來
The program revealed how illustration is more than image-making—it opens pathways to explore material, detail, and dialogue. For creators, these experiences become an invitation to expand perspectives and recognize new possibilities for the future.
這段旅程顯示插畫不僅是圖像創作，而是通往材料、細節與交流的多元入口。對創作者而言，這些經驗成為拓展視野、認識未來可能性的契機。
