This book is "Autumn Special Issue: Hideya Kawakita's Tokyo Graffiti," published in November 1981 as a special issue of the media magazine "Quarterly Media Review," which was launched in 1980. Hideya Kawakita is one of Japan's leading art directors after the war. While studying at Tokyo University of the Arts, he designed the "Strawberry Milk" candy by Sakuma Confectionery, and in the 1970s he was in the spotlight for his series of route maps and manners posters for the Teito Rapid Transit (now Tokyo Metro). In the 1980s, he was in charge of the art direction for the shochu "Iichiko," which received high praise for its commercial design. Since the 2000s, he has also served as a professor in the design department of his alma mater, Tokyo University of the Arts. This issue is a unique visual book with the theme of "Tokyo" and directed by Kawakita. It is a very impressive book.
