From “Experiential Design History” by Ayao Yamana About Designer Organizations at the Dawn of Japanese Design History −From the Taisho Period to Before World War II−

This paper is a compilation of information on prewar Japanese designer organizations, organized and documented using as a reference the book “Experiential Design History” by Ayao Yamana (David, Inc., 1976).
Although “Experiential Design History” is a personal memoir, the author has been active as a designer since the 1920s and has been a driving force in the Japanese graphic design world. The book is an important resource for understanding the history of prewar Japanese design, as it describes in detail, from the perspective of those involved,
the period during which those who were called “designers” were recognized by the public as designers.
However, many of the introductions of design organizations are in the order recalled by the author, which is cumbersome, so they have been reorganized in chronological order for future use as research material.
