Art direction, installation design, signage planning, and promotional materials were created for ISSEY MIYAKE’s special exhibition “On Kamiko”.
This exhibition presents the kamiko pieces from the Spring Summer 2025 collection and showcases a video revealing the making process, including the farm cultivating a rare, indigenous hemp species from seeds and the washi mill practicing this 1300-year-old craft. The video also features the paper mill’s account of the kamiko and the fascination washi holds, as well as an interview with designer Satoshi Kondo reflecting on the collection as a whole, and how he came to explore washi and paper in general. Also on exhibit is a series of photographs from the seasonal s campaign, photographed at LOG (Lantern Onomichi Garden), a hotel in Onomichi City, Hiroshima—a place of great inspiration to the collection.
