Tactile Book,  Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum, 2025

Ai Komagata was asked by Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum to design and produce a tactile picture book for people who are blind.

We aimed to create this book that both those who can see and those who cannot see can enjoy together, in order to tell the stylistic beauty of the distinctive building of the Teien Art Museum.

We also considered and devised easily recognizable shapes, forms, font sizes, etc., while listening to the opinions of people who are blind or people with low vision.
