Tokyo Ginza Graphic Gallery (GGG Gallery) is one of the galleries I often visit. They consistently curate excellent exhibitions. This time, the Gallery is curating Daijiro Ohara's sans exhibition. This was the first time I had heard about his name, but after that, I rethought what comes to designers nowadays.
What comes to mind when I see or hear Daijiro Ohara's works? If you were to sum up Ohara's profession, he is a graphic designer. However, the concepts and images that graphic design contains or evokes must capture his elusive presence.
Daijiro Ohara san works with lettering and typography for book and video productions, focusing on an impressive volume of music-related work. His entire practice is built on using the HAND to create unique hand lettering and illustrations that make a strong impression. The things he has created by playing and feeling his way forward with his hands not only express the voices of his clients' voices but also convey Ohara's emotions and moods.
The title for Daijiro Ohara's first solo exhibition at GGG is HANDBOOK, which perfectly represents his work. HANDBOOK is also the title of the collection of jobs that will be published by Graphic-Sha to coincide with the exhibition. The exhibition will, of course, feature Ohara's music-related work. Still, it will also focus on lettering and design to introduce the whole creative process behind the work he has produced since he started to work independently. The landscapes that emerge as Ohara moves his hand will surely come to light at this exhibition. (reference GGG)

AI and technology keep transforming the design industry, pushing designers to learn and hold too much information nowadays. Compared with most designers researching the products, design is restricted by rules, but all the same, with a lack of creativity and boredom. Of course, that is a business need for most users. However, as a designer, I enjoy seeing how he expresses his creations; his creativity has little impact on the changing environment. Besides, if you are a Japanese or Mandarin reader, it would be easier to get into his works.

「坂本龍一 | 音を視る 時を聴く」東京都現代美術館、2024年 坂本龍一 + 高谷史郎《async–immersion tokyo》2024 年 ©2024 KAB Inc. 攝影:浅野豪
Based on Sakamoto's seminal album Async, this immersive installation brings his visionary music into the spatial realm. Visitors are surrounded by evolving soundscapes and abstract visual elements, creating a multisensory journey through themes of existence, death, and the beauty found in the ordinary. Async–Immersion Tokyo is a poignant exploration of how sound and space can evoke profound emotional connections.
