More Details in Japanese

From 2018 to 2020, Japan Graphic Designers Associtioan (JAGDA) uses the power of design to connect to support artists with disabilities and Paralympians over three years. The second round of this initiative features tumblers, an everyday product, created by designers from works by artists with disabilities from the Able Art Company (with some exceptions). They will be exhibited and sold for charity over the course of the year at Tokyo Midtown Design Hub and other locations throughout Japan. Making use of their skills in this field, JAGDA designers will participate as volunteers. A usage fee will be paid to the artists. All proceeds from sales minus manufacturing costs will be donated to the Paralympians Association of Japan.
