I guess the industry just feels like they can get more money out of us here in selling the games one by one.
First there is the Jishin Itsumo kit. It includes a book note which illustrates the testimony of 167 survivors of Great Hanshin earthquake in Kobe in 1995. What a work !
The kit includes also two leaflets, one explaining how to set up an emergency contact and one explaining what you need to prepare at home.
The last item is a handkerchief with multipurpose ideas printed on it : it can be a mask, a bandage, a flag, etc. Bought it for 12 euros in mint condition.

โฌ let's continue this exploration thread above.
My Jishin Itsumo project collection is growing !
ๅฐ้ (jishin = earthquake) ใใคใ (itsumo = always) is a project made by the wonderful Japanese illustrator Yorifuji Bunpei ๅฏ่คๆๅนณ.
The main goal is risk prevention and help people getting ready for earthquake disaster.
If you like it, there are PDF available on the official website !

โฌ let's dig into it !
Second book is the Jishin Itsumo Manual.
It explains everything you need to know to be prepared for an earthquake : how and why it happens in Japan, what you need to prepare at home, what furniture you need to fix on the wall, how and what you can cook, how you can poop and clean you up without functional sewers, etc. It's really well made and you can find it around 4 euros on second hand marketplaces.

็งๅฏๅบๅฐใฎไฝใๆน is a wonderful book analyzing how to make a secret base. A deep dive into children cabins, shacks, huts, tree houses... what make a good secret base ?
Written in 2012 by Takahiro Ogata ๅฐพๆนๅญๅผ and illustrated by Noritake, the book gives you all the keys to chose wisely what is your secret base.
Each type of secret base has a radar diagram to choose from those criteria : ้ข็ฝใ (fun), ่ไน
ๆง (durability), ็งๅฏๅบฆ(secrecy), ๅฑ้บๅบฆ(degree of risk),้ฃๆๅบฆ(difficulty level).
I was looking for this artbook for a long time. Published in 2020, this 400 pages book contains all the works of the Japanese illustrator Noritake. Ads, posters, publication, magazine covers... his minimalistic style is everywhere and I love it. It also contains an interview at the end of the book. Got this version at 10 euros, great quality overall.

Some Typographics ti: have a double cardboard page inside with stunning visuals and removable postcards. Those magazines cost 350ๅ in 1982,
(around 3 euros in 2023 inflation rate included)

As I said earlier, each issue of Typographics ti: covers a different topic. 1982-10 issue is dedicated to toilet door signs.

Typographics ti: gave the opportunity for designers to submit and showcase their work in a section of the magazine "new face". You had to fill and send back the coupon with your printed work by postal service.

My favorite is Typographics ti: magazine from March 1983.
I was curious about the content as the cover depicts the Japanese map symbol Hot Springs โจ U+2668
What's inside ?
A report of Hermann Zapf's visit in Japan ! The famous typographer behind Optima, Palatino or Zapf Dingbats has a discussion with Japanese typographer Kuwayama Yasaburo ๆกๅฑฑๅผฅไธ้. but it is not just a written interview, it's shaped like a MANGA !!! this is so funny and so creative.

Let's ding into it ! This Typographics ti: magazine is from November 1982.
This issue is a calendar. Each month is designed by an artist. The print quality is incredible.
Cover is designed by Toshihiko Kitagawa ๅๆพคๆๅฝฆ. First month is designed by Mitsuo Katsui ๅไบไธ้

Typographics ti: is the quarterly magazine of the Japan Typography Association. First published in 1980, the publication is still going on today.
Found a set of 10 magazines for 40 euros. I was curious but didn't find any PDF or sample online, so I've decided to give it a try. The content is really different from one another but what a discovery ! If I find a scanner solution, I will try to make them available for everybody.

(The world of words seen with your eyes) is more a method for creating pictograms than an encyclopedia. Printed in 1983, the cover is a little bit old but the book inside is in a really good condition. 10 euros. The editor is the Japanese Standards Association. I wanted it because it was co-authored by Yukio Ota ๅคช็ฐๅนธๅคซ.

ใใ้ (Iron Characters) is written by a real ้ใชใฟ(an Iron Ota', a railway otaku) Yuki Ishikawa ็ณๅท็ฅๅบ.
This book is a beautiful encyclopedia of railway station signs around Japan. What font is used, where can you find it, history behind some... A great work of documenting wayfinding signage design.
Found this copy in mint condition for 5 euros.

่จๅทใฎไบๅ ธ ( symbols encyclopedia) from 1985. One of the most expensive book, found it on yahoo auction for around 15 euros. The cardboard cover is a little bit damaged around the corner but the book inside is in MINT condition, it still smells fresh from the press. We have almost the same age and I'm not as fresh as this book. I will take care of it Japan, I promise.

The other book written by Yuki Ishikawa ็ณๅท็ฅๅบ is ใใใใใใ้ (Wriggling Iron Characters, it's a pun between mojimoji ใใใใ and moji ใใ I don't know how to translate it correctly...).
In this one, the author interviews Japanese wayfinding signage designers.
Men AND women talks about their work, typographic choices with examples. An important documentary project which gives access to unaccessible design processes. Like ใใ้, you can easily find a second hand copy.

"The first bowl on the earth
The second bowl on the sea
The third bowl on the rivers
The fourth bowl on the sun
The fifth bowl on the beast
The sixth bowl on the stars
The seventh bowl on the air
And the earth turned grey
Sea turned black
The rivers turned red
The sun turned cold
The beast turned pale
The stars turned fast
The air turned to poison"

I never really did an #introduction, just jumped in and never went back to Xitter.
A bit of an explanation now - I've transplanted to #Kobe #Japan from #Pittsburgh for my #ProfLife 4 month Fall sabbatical - with my family!
We #Homeschool our kids, so this worked out well (next yr Kid1 will head to college - last opportunity for this sort of adventure, so I snatched it). Wish me luck!
Thanks all who follow or just come across & boost - you mastofriends have all been gracious and kind! ๐๐ฝ
