A collection of works by Kiyoshi Awazu, a designer who led the post-war graphic design, Kiyoshi Awazu Design Drawings (Reprint Edition). Born in 1929. Studied painting and design on his own, and in 1955 he received the Nichinomi Prize for the poster work “Return the Sea” at the “Japan Advertising Art Exhibition” which was a gateway to graphic designers at the time. In 1960, he participated in the group “Metabolism” created by Kisho Kurokawa and other architects. Kiyoshi Awazu has created an image full of originality that is distinct from the trend of modern design after the war, such as Yusaku Kamekura. Although he passed away in 2009, his unique creativity is still stimulating today, with many exhibitions held after his death. This book is a reprint of a collection of works published in 1970, containing early sketches and works from the 50s. Many of the graphic designs that can only be described as Kiyoshi Awazu, such as high-impact posters, intelligent bindings, unique illustrations, and magical works using seals and letters, are still attractive without fading. . The reprint includes an afterword written by Ryo Enomoto who is also editing the original version.
