For 50 years, the Good Design Award has been Japan’s most coveted achievement in industrial design. Design Japan is more than a catalogue of the award – it’s a full-scale, full-color exploration. Covering the design philosophy, history, and cutting-edge products of twenty leading Japanese companies (including Sony, Panasonic, Toyota, Yamaha, and Muji), it explores how Japanese businesses and the Good Design Award have evolved together to meet changing tastes. Includes essays by leading designers Naoto Fukazawa and Kengo Kuma and the works of 100 past Good Design awardees.

This volume was produced by the Japan Industrial Design Promotion Organization (JIDPO) to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Good Design Awards.
