“old Tokyo” around the Yanaka area
The Kengo Kuma designed tourist information center
Tokyo is a city rich in exciting sights and unique atmospheres. Artists and designers have taken to translate those into a vast array of media: photography, sketches, painting or even sticker art. Her stay in Tokyo inspired Czech designer Tereza Hradilkova to represent the city using paper – a very Japanese medium. The laser-cut creations came to life as a result of a collaboration with Tokyo-based creative producer Kumi Kobayashi, whom she met while in the city.
The cards feature well-know landmarks: Tokyo Dome, the Senso-ji temple and Skytree tower. But the collection also includes lesser-known sights such as the district of Yanaka or the Prada building in Omotesando, which show the diversity of atmospheres that make up the Japanese metropolis.
