TRAVELLING NORTH

About the productJapanese

Popular illustrator Hiroshi Nagai has been active since the 1970s, creating numerous record jackets and advertisements, including the cover design for the timeless classic "A LONG VACATION."

His works depict American landscapes such as swimming pools, modernist houses, roadsides, and palm trees with strong colors and contrasts, and allow viewers to evoke the seasons and a sense of freedom. These works are etched in the memories of people of all ages and genders, both in Japan and abroad, and opportunities to see his illustrations on T-shirts, merchandise, CD jackets, and books continue to increase.

This time, Nagai, who mainly creates tropical and clear landscape illustrations, has selected a selection of works from his collection of works inspired by the majestic nature of Hokkaido, which he visited, focusing on landscapes that evoke the image of a journey north from summer to autumn to winter to spring, or "TRAVELLING NORTH."
The book includes many works that are rarely seen at exhibitions, such as those with landscapes without palm trees as their main motif. The philosophy of "nostalgia," which is a characteristic and foundation of Hiroshi Nagai's work, is also sprinkled throughout the book.
