Rediscovering the Charm of Books Through Touch

Following the success of last year's "World Book Design Exhibition". This second iteration features a lineup of domestic and international books published in 2014, meticulously selected by the concierges of Daikanyama Tsutaya Books, who focus on proposing adult lifestyles.


The exhibition includes art books bound like albums with photographs pasted onto high-quality paper, and color swatch books where skin tones represent people, with their photos laid out on the reverse side. These designs, unique to physical books, evoke a sense of tangible appeal in an era where e-books are becoming increasingly prevalent.

Furthermore, all exhibited books are available for purchase. We encourage you not only to admire these "good design books," crafted with meticulous attention to detail, but to actually pick them up, experiencing their weight and texture. Through this tactile engagement, you are sure to feel the creators' passion for their work.
