Ramen Bowl | Artist Statement

Shin Matsunaga One of Japan’s leading graphic designers, working for decades primarily in corporate identity and packaging Unless extraordinarily large, ramen bowls are not particularly impressive. Rather, bowls that are decorated simply with the restaurant business name are the most appealing to me. A new, unexplored frontier, designing a ramen bowl sounded fun at first, but it was also a challenge. Since there is no correct way to design a ramen bowl, I decided to create my signature “old man” hand-drawn-style bowl so that at least my grandchildren will like it!
