Design Hunting in Kochi

On "design hunting" episodes, our presenters head off to discover designs that are deeply rooted in local history and nature. This time, Andy and Shaula explore Kochi Prefecture, on the island of Shikoku. Over 80% of the prefecture is covered in forest, and this is reflected in the local design, as are the history and climate of this Pacific coastline confluence of mountain and sea. Our guest is graphic designer Makoto Umebara, who heads a Kochi-based project that promotes regional revitalization through design. From traditional crafts to the latest styles, explore the depth of Kochi design!
