Passionate Talk Events Held Daily, Just Like Last Year



"Daikanyama Design Department" (hereafter DDD) is an event that creates a space to "know, think about, and enjoy" design by holding various designer exhibitions within Daikanyama Tsutaya Books.

The biggest draw of this event is undoubtedly that you can actually get your hands on most of the items on display and for sale. You can casually touch the products and directly assess their feel before making a purchase.

By shortening the distance to the works, it aims to become a place where creators and users can grow closer.
