Pictograms are part of everyday life, guiding us through stations, screens, streets and more. But where did they come from, and how do they speak so clearly without words? Japan House London invites you to explore the story of pictograms and Japan’s quietly influential role in their evolution: from the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games to the global spread of ‘emoji’. Discover over 600 contemporary Japanese pictograms, trace their visual roots through time, and try your hand at creating your own. Guests can even become part of life-size pictograms, standing beneath a torii gate, sizing up to a sumo wrestler, or stepping into the role of a Japanese train driver. For the first time, see new works created by young people in the UK, each expressing ‘their London’ in pictogram form. A quietly powerful celebration of design and communication, Pictograms: Iconic Japanese Designs is open at Japan House London until 9 November.

The name also honors Masaoka Shiki, a haiku poet who revolutionized Japanese literature and used "Dassai" as a penname due to his scattered papers resembling otters' spread-out fish.
Respecting his revolutional spirit, our sake-making philosophy, "Making sake is making dreams: opening a new era of sake," we strive to spread Japanese food and drink culture around the world.
