With the 5th TDC exhibition, the quantity and level of recognition had risen. Letters are easy for anyone to understand and convey a message directly. The core of designs, they get much attention and will get more. The awardwinner, Mr. Nakajo's work is outstanding in its pursuit of the origin of original forms, the source of all images. The search for things containing a deep radiance is much more meaningful than the pursuit of momentary splendor. In the future, I also want to continue to focus on unknown letters of the world starting with Asia and Africa. Katsumi Asaba
