Book lovers and design enthusiasts, mark your calendars! From December 14, 2024, to March 23, 2025, Tokyo will host an extraordinary showcase of global book artistry at the World Book Design 2023-24 exhibition.

Discover Award-Winning Designs from Around the Globe

The exhibition features approximately 150 meticulously crafted books, showcasing winners of the prestigious “Best Book Design from all over the World” competition held in March 2024. Complementing this international selection are award-winning entries from national competitions in countries renowned for their design traditions, including Japan, Germany, Switzerland, Canada, China, Finland, and Denmark.

These books are more than just pages bound together; they are visual and tactile representations of storytelling, artistic innovation, and the cultural spirit of their creators. From bold typographic experiments to delicate paper textures, the showcase encapsulates the best of contemporary book design.

A Rare Opportunity for Design Aficionados

While not every award-winning book is on display—owing to small print runs or availability challenges—the exhibition presents a carefully curated selection that offers deep insights into the global trends in book design. Visitors can explore the creative processes behind the works, marvel at the mastery of bookbinding techniques, and gain inspiration for their own artistic pursuits.
