Japan is known as a "design powerhouse" and has led the design trend in Asia in both product and visual design.
As a result, Japan has produced a number of excellent designers such as Kenya Hara, Naoto Fukasawa, Tadazawa Yokoo, Yasuhira Sugiura, and Taku Sato.
Japanese graphic design works
In Japan, "everything can be graphic design", whether it is advertising or the door of a shop or a small poster of a shop, Japanese designers can always combine beauty and fun perfectly to catch the attention of passers-by.
Recently, with the election of the Japanese House of Representatives approaching, many designers and illustrators have launched an initiative plan, hoping to use the power of art design posters to arouse the public to vote for a precious vote and defend their rights and interests.
Japan lowered the legal voting age from 20 to 18 five years ago to encourage young people to participate in politics and speak up for themselves, but found that turnout was frighteningly low for ethnic groups in their 20s and under.
In the 2017 House election, turnout in the 20-30 age group was only 34 percent, less than half of the 60- to 70-year-old age group.
Now, with the new president of the Liberal Democratic Party , Fumio Kishida, becoming Japan's 100th prime minister , the House of Representatives , which was dissolved on October 14 , was re-elected on October 31.

No, in order to encourage young people to come out and vote, there is a Volter Poster 2021 campaign in Japan.
Illustrators, designers and cartoonists produce a variety of high-profile posters for printing or sharing online to increase young people's willingness to participate in politics.
Although such activities may not be easy to achieve results in the short term.
But seeing that turnout among young people continues to hit rock lows makes it seem inappropriate for political parties to focus on the needs of older generations of voters in an irreparable vicious circle.
Therefore, it is quite encouraging if someone is aware of this phenomenon and is willing to ascend to the top and take action.
By searching for #投票ポスター2021 tags on social media such as Facebook and Twitter, a new generation of creators can enjoy a variety of creative political posters.
If you have other promotional ideas, you can also come up with your own work on the Vortex Poster 2021 website.
While it may not be useful in this election, cultivating young people's sense of citizenship and political participation is a long-term battle that requires everyone's sustained efforts.

In addition to Volter Poster 2021, creative yu Yamada also launched the "GO TO VOTE" project, collaborating with Moe Furuya, a graphic designer and illustrator of the Vermilion project, to launch the design poster.
Under the titles of "PAPER REVOLUTION" and "CHANGE THE ENDING", we provide people who are willing to post them, and even if they are reasonably reachable, they provide delivery, and use the power of small design to awaken everyone's awareness of political participation.
However, perhaps the more rapid attraction for young people is the propaganda film "VOICE PROJECT Voting はあなななたの声" co-produced by 14 actors and celebrities, including Ken Watanabe, Shun shun Oguri, Shoko Sugata, Kanna Hashimoto, and Fumi Nijido.
Revealing that "your vote is your voice", it calls on all young people to stand up and vote for their future.
