The concept and design for my work was inspired by my grandma. Each time I travel and come back to Japan, I bring her souvenirs. She always tells me that she wants to travel with me and see the world together. However, with her bad knees and progressing Alzheimer's disease, she is unable to leave her home. So I decided to bring adventures to her inside a handmade suitcase. The trip is a week-long, and every day we travel to different countries. Some of the countries are ones my grandma and I have been wanting to visit together and others are drawn from my personal experiences. In each country, we explore different things and each origami piece is related to the narrative. I abstracted the flags of countries we are visiting for the design of the origami pieces, and some extra pieces are in the leather pocket for my grandma to try making them and travel through the journal from day 1 to day 7. From there, it leads to the quote, “Find your adventure wherever you are!” This winter, my grandma and I will go on a fun trip together once we meet again in Japan, and we will continue the journey with this suitcase full of adventure.&nbsp; To make the suitcase, I sourced all the materials from Blick and Economy True Value. The process was challenging at first because it was my first time trying wood work and I was refining and developing the design as I made it. I used machines and sought advice from Engineering Product Innovation Center (EPIC) and Singh Imagineering Lab (SILab) at Boston University. It was such a fun time creating the suitcase and the narrative, and I hope you enjoy the trip with me, Grandma! <img width="2048" height="1536" width_o="2048" height_o="1536"

Masamura https://yukamasamura.com/deai 出会い (deai) ︎Editorial Design, Photography, Book Binding 5”x 5” February 2023Saddle-stitched It’s about relationships between people, traveling through different spaces to reach someone while having some magical encounters with some others on the way, and missing that someone. The book travels through the air from the left side and travels through the water from the right side. And when you’re on that journey, it feels like no time has passed. Some relationships are like water and fish; fish cannot survive without water. It’s a Japanese saying that describes deep trust and people who are inseparable. The narrative is told through Japanese and English phrases written by me, along with some Japanese proverbs. It includes photos (taken by me with a pinhole camera, film camera, and digital camera), illustrations, and vellum. <img width="1559" height="1529" width_o="1559" height_o="1529"

After doing an interview with the manager and doing site research, I produced a type-based rebrand that elevates their brand and helps them reach larger audiences. For instance, because the business originates from a small, family run business back in Japan and the store has a family friendly atmosphere, I tried to keep the warm and welcoming tone throughout while keeping the modern look that their current logo has. Maru (circle) and ichi (one in Japanese character) are combined to create the current logo, and I continue to emphasize that with the image of plum (which is usually included in Japanese rice balls and rice in bento boxes that are also sold at Maruichi) and horizontal chopsticks. I also brought in the store’s physical design by including the noren curtains in the tote bag design.&nbsp; <img width="3319" height="4978" width_o="3319" height_o="4978" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7fb9ebec5438df07df0659aa2fc8d12e95fe3478b8964b2af3dd238e9f66f631/YUK06541.jpg" data-mid="203127234" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7fb9ebec5438df07df0659aa2fc8d12e95fe3478b8964b2af3dd238e9f66f631/YUK06541.jpg" /> <img width="1050" height="600" width_o="1050" height_o="600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d7768d700a9873f9c7ddb56cb915666adf1a467cb2ca578766da139b840b8c96/Final-Logo.png" data-mid="191139580" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d7768d700a9873f9c7ddb56cb915666adf1a467cb2ca578766da139b840b8c96/Final-Logo.png" /> <img width="1248" height="972" width_o="1248" height_o="972" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1cc4fe8ba4a1dd8d47356f3d12f50aa2133729c88f3b9fdbd947290e6921bd07/IMG_8642.PNG" data-mid="191138017" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1cc4fe8ba4a1dd8d47356f3d12f50aa2133729c88f3b9fdbd947290e6921bd07/IMG_8642.PNG" /> <img width="2045" height="1593" width_o="2045" height_o="1593" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4e2ef5c605b56f801b088daeda8923ba1b7e7b4703a42c0d52111526b8d95219/IMG_8641.PNG" data-mid="191138018" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4e2ef5c605b56f801b088daeda8923ba1b7e7b4703a42c0d52111526b8d95219/IMG_8641.PNG" /> 24–09–2024 https://yukamasamura.com/water Sun, 17 Sep 2023 19:37:41 +0000 Yuka Masamura https://yukamasamura.com/water water&nbsp; September 2022 11” x 17” By abstracting and combining the shapes of things in everyday life, I created an image of water&nbsp; <img width="1103" height="1472" width_o="1103" height_o="1472" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/94a84ef9e319cc5827780e8b91bb0937aaad5058371298d099b16ac725371dc8/water.png" data-mid="191055596" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/94a84ef9e319cc5827780e8b91bb0937aaad5058371298d099b16ac725371dc8/water.png" /> 24–09–2024 https://yukamasamura.com/Index Sun, 17 Sep 2023 19:37:39 +0000 Yuka Masamura https://yukamasamura.com/Index <img width="8334" height="5081" width_o="8334" height_o="5081" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9d5def6514183983e87d49d6333fb34d2ff99aec0a7917036cf960f18bb1dea1/Website-Landing-Page-21.png" data-mid="226158002" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9d5def6514183983e87d49d6333fb34d2ff99aec0a7917036cf960f18bb1dea1/Website-Landing-Page-21.png" />This flower field is made with my typeface, growth.
