Eiko Ishioka, who worked as an art director for Shiseido, Parco, and Kadokawa Shoten in the 1960s and 1970s, will hold a traveling exhibition at Kyoto ddd Gallery.
Ms. Ishioka overturned every image of "women" in the world at that time, and paved the way for the arrival of the "age of women" in the 1980s. This exhibition focuses mainly on her work in Japan up to her departure for New York in the 1980s, including masterpieces of advertising campaigns, movie and theater posters, record jackets, and a variety of book designs, including her own books. In addition, the exhibition will present works and materials that convey her passion for creativity, such as proofreading instructions and ideas rough drafts that give a glimpse of the production process, along with Eiko Ishioka's words.
