‘The Graphics of Taro Okamoto’

April 5, 2006 - July 3, 2006

One facet of Taro Okamoto’s world of expression was graphic design. Posters, playing cards, long-sleeved kimono, clocks, neckties, tapestries…Taro gave life to every kind of object, no matter what, his designs ranging from airships to matchboxes. Although it is not widely known, Taro even designed the logo of the now-defunct Kintetsu Buffaloes baseball team. We have named this exhibition ‘The Graphics of Taro Okamoto’ and through it we will provide a general view of Taro’s graphic art. We hope you will enjoy this slightly different aspect of the artist, Taro Okamoto.
