Experience
EXPERIENCE JAPAN PICTOGRAMS were developed as minimalist tools to convey basic information about Japan and its diverse aspects. Despite the deceptively simple design, each symbol is generally presented with accompanying text – a story that gives you a glimpse into the everyday life and history of Japan. We encourage you to read these stories to experience Japan before visiting or downloading the pictograms.
Design
EXPERIENCE JAPAN PICTOGRAMS were designed to be original, universal, and flexible for a variety of media, showcasing high functionality and aesthetic value in printed materials, digital displays, and outdoor signage. Each pictogram can be used by reversing black and white or changing colors for a broad range of applications. There are infinite possibilities for you to explore.
