Six Solo Shows in December – 5th Round: Kashiwa Sato
Kashiwa Sato is now the most sought-after new generation creative / art director in Japan. Since he graduated from Tama University in 1989, Sato joined the major advertising agency Hakuhodo, Inc, and until the year 2000, Sato established his own design office, Samurai. Over the years, Sato’s has won numerous awards, including Tokyo ADC Grand Prix, Tokyo TDC Gold Award, the JAGDA 2000 New Designer Award, Asahi Advertising Award, Yusaku Kamekura Award, and Japan Package Design Grand Prix Gold Award.
Sato’s energetic and original designs have enriched projects with vibrant colors and dynamic composition, expressing the sometimes simple, sometimes disorderly style, with a hint of rebellion and unwillingness to compromise.

Among all, Sato’s most recognized work must be the promotional materials and CD covers for the Japanese pop group SMAP.
