Junichi Nakahara (1913–1983) was involved in such a wide array of activities, including illustration, magazine editing, and fashion and interior design that he might best be described as a multi-creator. To commemorate the 111th anniversary of Nakahara’s birth, this exhibition introduces a variety of his works, including magazines such as Soreiyu(Soleil), Himawari, Junior soreiyu, and Onna no heya, clothing, paintings, and dolls.

Here we explore Nakahara’s charms, which have lost none of their appeal today, through his countess creations, borne out of a wish to “make books that would once again fill people with dreams, hopes, and the desire for a beautiful life” in the turbulent period after World War II.
