B6 Planner - Kakimori, The Trail of a Slug

Paper type: Bank paper

Yutaka Kawai is a painter based in Mashiko, Tochigi prefecture. He works out a large old house that is both his home and studio. His works feature acrylics and watercolours in highly varied styles that range from abstract and geometric to calligraphy-like linework. His practice is free from many conventions — his paintings are neither titled nor framed, and he is known to alter his works even after completion.

We chose three designs for our planner that capture Kawai’s independent spirit. The designs are vibrant and cheerful, just the kind of companion we want our planner to be.
