Shibuya as a typographic system
The Shibuya editorial spread — a hard modular grid, oversized display type cut with diagonals, and vertical Japanese type. 渋谷は光を吸い込み、動きを吐き出す街 — the city that inhales light and exhales motion.
Two graphic design pieces made from the same learning journey to Tokyo, built on one visual system: a hard modular grid, monospaced type, black-and-white photography, and vertical Japanese type running the margins.
The first is an editorial spread on Shibuya, treating the district as a typographic system — oversized display lettering cut through with diagonal rules, film grain, and deliberate negative space set to the pace of the scramble crossing. The headline 渋谷は光を吸い込み、動きを吐き出す街 reads as “the city that inhales light and exhales motion,” a line the whole layout is built to perform.
The second is a booklet documenting the university visits — Waseda, Nishi-Waseda, and Keio. The same grid carries quieter material: campus architecture, dormitories, and the academic neighbourhoods around them, with the wordmarks deconstructed down each page. Together they show one design language stretched across two very different subjects — a city at full speed and a campus at rest.
