[Book Description]

Design Born from Connections with Local Communities

(Original Japanese title: 地域とつながり、生まれるデザイン)

This book explores design practices born from deep, collaborative engagement with local communities across Japan. Rather than focusing solely on surface-level aesthetics or packaging, the featured projects are rooted in local culture, history, nature, and everyday life. Through a wide range of case studies, it presents real stories of how design can authentically connect with a place and help solve local challenges.

The book covers diverse design initiatives—from product development, branding, spatial design, and community revitalization to cultural events—accompanied by rich visuals and detailed insights into the context, design process, and core principles behind each project. It also includes in-depth interviews with active local designers, offering readers a candid look into the thoughts and motivations behind their regional creative work.

As interest in regional revitalization and socially engaged design grows, this book provides valuable ideas and strategies for anyone involved in local design initiatives. It serves as both inspiration and a practical guide for designers, public sector workers, nonprofits, and cultural researchers committed to sustainable and meaningful design rooted in place.

[Chapter Highlights]

Chapter 1: Product & Branding (e.g., SAKURAJIMA TSUBAKI, Fuku, Warai, Yamakakeru GIBIER)

Chapter 2: Shops & Spaces (e.g., HAGISO, PORTO, DENIM HOSTEL float)

Chapter 3: Local Events & Cultural Projects (e.g., Books and Hot Springs, Zao Radio, Tsuwano Conference)

Chapter 4: Print Media & Local Publications (e.g., Tekuri, hesso, BI-TO, Hinata Binchotan leaflet)

Interviews with: DEJIMAGRAPH, homesickdesign, TSUGI, Akaoni, and more

This book is a practical record of regional design across branding, architecture, media, and social action—perfect for designers, government workers, NPOs, local business owners, and anyone interested in creative regional development.
