Design Hunting in Aomori
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 Aomori Prefecture, at the northern tip of the main Japanese island of Honshu. Aomori designs are filled with rich reminders of the area's past and its natural environment, from prehistoric ruins to the famous Nebuta Festival. Our guest is graphic designer Atsuki Kikuchi, who helped design the Aomori Museum of Art. From design traditions related to the snowy climate to the very latest in local craftsmanship, we'll explore the depth of Aomori designs.
