- #142430 Graphic, Illustration and Visual Communication Design Category Silver Award / Kumano Kodo
- Production Technology
- My works are mainly hand-drawn illustrations using brushes, acrylic paints, illustration boards, compasses, rulers, ruling pens, etc., and some are retouched in Photoshop.
- Design Challenge
- She didn't know how the magazine actually got from store shelves to customers' hands. However, the magazine did receive feedback from readers. One such comment, "Looking at the illustration on the cover, I felt nostalgia and a sense of the season, and it reminded me of home," made her happy.She didn't quantify the actual effect, so she doesn't know, but it seems that this activity was effective.
- Research
- This magazine is a pamphlet distributed free of charge by Shinkin banks nationwide. How do customers get it? We think it is important for customers to get to know the local people and towns. She created eye-catching illustrations that convey the warmth and nostalgia of the town. As a result, people visit the area (by buying local products, etc.) and learn about its good points. I think this has connected people and towns.
- Inspiration
- This project was created as an information tool that can be placed in the storefronts of Shinkin banks nationwide and can be freely taken home. It is also an information magazine based on the concept of "shinkumi," which energizes people and cities. The theme of the issue for which she was asked to illustrate was Hiroshima Summer. She created an illustration based on the theme of the Itsukushima Shrine Orchestra Festival, which energizes people and cities.
- Project Duration
- She was commissioned to do this project by a planning and production company (BOON Corporation + Shinkumi Sogo Service Corporation). She produced six books per year for each month over five years (30 books) from January 2011 to April 2018. The project was supervised by the National Federation of Shinkin Banks.
- Operation Flow

Distributed free of charge/Information and gifts
