ARIGATO PROJECTとは

デザイン人・アート人の皆様方へ

We’ve been receiving warm support from all over the world since the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.
It wasn’t just people in Japan who were affected, people in many countries showed their warmth and support through various creative initiatives, making new connections and bonds across the world.
We are proud to introduce “ARIGATO” project, founded in association with “TOKYO AWARD”, an art and design TV show in Japan and DESIGN ASSOCIATION NPO.

We are kindly asking professional creators, universities, and members of public to submit their art/design work under the theme of “LOVE”.
The project will be displayed at a special exhibition during TOKYO DESIGNERS WEEK 2011 and will also be published in a special book.
During this difficult time, we were overwhelmed with messages of support from around the world - we are very grateful to be able to say ARIGATO!
Japanese words such as “MOTTAINAI”, and “SAYONARA” have entered the global vocabulary, we would like to add “ARIGATO” too!
