Shigeru Ito

SHIGERU ITO is a Japan-born creative with an uncommon mastery of expression and visualization, affluent in construction of multilayered ideas and visual storytelling. Applying the concept of ‘kakazunikaku’ he intends to draw without drawing, aiming to give his work a universal value beyond shapes and lines. Thriving on his black and white ink drawing with a splash of watercolor, TOWA emerges as a unique visual storytelling format and an innovative artwork shape on its own. It is a format fit for all as it is creative, inclusive, educational and transversal. TOWA embodies our love for art, culture, diversity, adventure and human connection – unity in itself. Hence the start of the project with City Edition as an enticing invitation to (re)create our world destinations through imaginative storytelling and a stack of wonder.
