From 1935 to 1937, Yusaku Kamekura studied at the Institute of New Architecture and Industrial Arts in Tokyo. The Institute was founded to bring the precepts of the Bauhaus design movement to Japan. Kamekura is best known for his graphic design of the Tokyo 1964 Games, re-articulating Japan’s postwar identity.The visual language utilized by the Tokyo Games adhered to the anti-historical approach of modernism, while it also encoded the visual composition of crest design, established in medieval Japan.
