Lasting Achievement of KUNIBO WADA

​

Hoping he would want to be an artist, what he had confidence in was the work of design.

We will show his performance that Kagawa’s design is considered to Kunibo’s design.

​

​

2019 is the memorial year of 120th anniversary of Kunibo WADA’s birth. We hold an exhibition focused on the time when Kagawa’s design was considered to Kunibo’s design. Almost all products worked by Kunibo are familiar to residents of Kagawa prefecture. We have seen his design. We have eaten something in the package with his design. The sections for souvenir are still full of packages designed by Kunibo.

​

Mr. Kunibo WADA had multiple roles with a variety of title, such as cartoonist, novelist, curator of Sanuki Folk Craft Museum, commercial supervisor, artist.

Even though his job as a designer was always working on the products known by everyone, the name of designer and actual performance have not been talked until now.

However, he has gotten the attention in the industry, as he was awarded a special prize from Japan Package Design Association and participated in a design exhibition held overseas.
