The Wacom Story Book series is an anthology-style publication that weaves together diverse stories from people engaged with Wacom, capturing not only their words but also spirits.
In the Issue 2, we’ve retained the worldview of the series while introducing new creative approaches in both format and presentation.
As a tribute to creative cultures and all forms of self-expressions, this issue draws inspiration from the Japanese dōjinshi style and is composed of four individual booklets, each focuses on a specific theme. Reflecting this format, we gave the subtitle “Usui-hon” (literally, “thin book”) for this issue.
