KURUME CITY ART MUSEUM

Hashiguchi Goyo (b. Kagoshima, 1881–d. 1921) is known as a pioneer of book design and shinhanga (lit. new prints) in Japan. He designed books for leading writers of modern Japanese literature such as Natsume Soseki, Izumi Kyoka, and Nagai Kafu. Regarding books by Soseki, beginning with Wagahai wa neko de aru (I Am a Cat), with which Soseki debuted as a novelist, Goyo produced the designs for Sanshiro, Sorekara, and Mon. With focus on Goyo’s achievements as a graphic designer, this exhibition introduces the rich world of Goyo’s designs.
