One of Japan's most famous but least known directors, Masumura's films were brought to India by the Japan Foundation, New Delhi.
Masamura is considered one of the most influential post-war Japanese filmmakers. For the design of the catalog, we wanted to highlight the power of his movies by using large black-and-white film stills juxtaposed with striking typography that gives the design a contemporary edge.
The binding uses a simple stitch to give it a Japanese sensibility and a sense of nostalgia. Printed on 100% recycled paper (Shiro Echo).
