Storefront design is a comprehensive art form, which consists of architecture, decoration, and surrounding landscape. The commercial area in Japan is a place where exchanges of culture and commerce are active between Japan and the West, and where both pop design and Japanese style can be found. Storefronts play an important role in attracting customers by adding characteristics and charms to the shops. Every detail in designs such as layout, colors, lighting, advertisement drawing logo design, or huge display cases, will directly lead to perfection and become important elements that capture fashionable Japanese styles, regardless of which kind of design styles. In this book, listed are the storefront designs of many world's top brands and distinctive stores in upscale shopping districts in Japan. The features of Japanese storefront design are summarized from the aspects of structure, materials and styles.

Representing a new generation of designers in Japan, Kenya Hara (born 1958) pays tribute to his mentors, using long overlooked Japanese icons and images in much of his work. In Designing Design, he impresses upon the reader the importance of emptiness in both the visual and philosophical traditions of Japan, and its application to design, made visible by means of numerous examples from his own work: Hara for instance designed the opening and closing ceremony programs for the Nagano Winter Olympic Games 1998. In 2001, he enrolled as a board member for the Japanese label MUJI and has considerably moulded the identity of this successful corporation as communication and design advisor ever since. Kenya Hara, alongside Naoto Fukasawa one of the leading design personalities in Japan, has also called attention to himself with exhibitions such as Re-Design: The Daily Products of the 21st Century.
