One of the things I love to look at in Tokyo are the colorful displays around the city. Some of the store windows are really creative and fun to look at. This one below was for Father’s Day sales.
Another window from the same department store.
The banners hanging outside the Ginza Graphic Gallery for their Max Huber exhibition in June. The current show displays work from members of ADC (Art Directors Club), a group of talented contemporary graphic designers. If you are in the area, please go take a look!
Not only store windows, but also signs make me smile. This one in particular ( in the subway) made me smile.
The poster is part of a series of “good manner” signs that can be seen on Tokyo Metro lines. It is asking people who carry umbrellas on rainy days to please not spray other people when shaking their umbrellas (Don’t make a piston!). I really have to laugh because the thought of someone making a “piston” on the subway in such a clueless fashion is rather unthinkable.The artist of the poster is Bunpei Yorifuji and he designs a new poster each month.
