Nice resource on Japanese graphic design including work by two designers heavily involved with photography: Ikko Tanaka and Tadanori Yokoo.

Kohei Sugiura.

I thought I would feature a graphic designer today for a change. Sugiura is one of the great Japanese graphic designers: he was responsible for some of the greatest photobooks of the ‘golden age’ of Japanese photobook publishing in the 60s and 70s: Eikoh Hosoe’s Barakei (Killed by Roses), 1963; Kikuji Kawada’s Chizu (The Map), Tokyo, 1965; Yutaka Takanashi’s Toshi-e (Towards the city), 1974; Jun Morinaga’s Kawa, River Shadow of Shadows, 1978 (see a few covers above).
