Ramen Bowl | Artist Statement

Masayoshi Nakajo One of Japan’s leading graphic designers, began career as a graphic designer for cosmetics brand Shiseido (1933 - 2021) When cooking ramen, timing is critical for boiling the broth. Even for a professional chef, ramen involves a lot of preparation, so it is easy to over-boil the broth. When I am at home, I cook extra-thick noodles, which gives me more time. When I go to a ramen restaurant, I can’t stand waiting in line, so I have various ways of dealing with that, too. I have many bowls, but none are specifically for ramen. This was a good opportunity to create a ramen bowl for myself.
