Yamaguchi Nobuhiro's hobby and design.
As a side job for graphic designers,
He is an amateur printer.
I have also enjoyed writing haiku.
Living for your hobbies is a positive expression of your views on society.
There was a time when I thought of it as a soft rebellion.
From the afterword of this book:
-
Nobuhiro Yamaguchi's "My Report" has been published.
The essence of this book is fully apparent in the afterword excerpted above, but as someone who was involved in planning and editing the book, let me give a very brief introduction to it.
Everyone has a hobby or two, especially designers and artists.There are rare cases of outstanding individuals like Picasso or Rosanjin, whose hobbies have grown to the point where they make whatever they do their own, but their hobbies do not just erupt as a form of expression; they can also become nourishment for the individual and take deep root in their work and life.
For example, Itami Juzo's "Home Cooking" and Akioka Yoshio's "Taketombo" are such hobbies that form the basis of their lives, and while they may seem like unnecessary "mindless" activities that have nothing to do with a person's main job, it is sometimes the case that these side hobbies are what support the person's main job.
Designer Nobuhiro Yamaguchi has lived a double life, straddling both the front and back of his life, with a gentle touch. He is an amateur letterpress printer, a haiku poet, an origami researcher, an antiques collector, and a Shinto priest. This book is an attempt to bring together the hobbies that Yamaguchi has pursued for a long time, and to "clean up" both the front and back of his life.
In the chapters "The Outcome of Mismanagement" at the beginning and "Gentle Rebellion" at the end, Yamaguchi-san's thoughts on the incident are written down. Please take a look.
The publisher is BONBOOK, which has published Philip Weisbecker's "Homo Faber" and Takano Fumiko's "Uta no Hon". This is the 17th book in a series of small-run publications that we started with a long-established printing company. Last year, Yamaguchi designed the covers for "Grandpa's Envelope", "Naked Design", and Couponchan's "Kurashi no Treasure".
