Nice to meet you. I am Takako Masuki, the founder and director of ASIAN_FOOD_DESIGN.
My work spans illustration, zines, art books, and exhibitions, all centered around the themes of Asian food culture and daily life. As I travel across Asia, I document the vibrant scenes of local markets, diners, bookstores, and the stories of the people I meet, transforming these encounters into visual artworks and publications.
Participating in art book fairs and exhibitions both in Japan and internationally, I place a strong emphasis on tactile and visual expression, utilizing unique printing techniques such as Risograph.
ASIAN_FOOD_DESIGN is an ongoing project dedicated to observing the diverse cultures, landscapes, and daily rhythms of Asia through the universal lens of food.

Career
東京都昭島市出身。インドや上海でグラフィックデザイナーとして働くなかで、食を通して見える文化や人々の暮らしに強く惹かれるようになりました。帰国後は料理本や実用書のデザインを手がけ、2016年にASIAN_FOOD_DESIGNをスタート。アジアの食文化をテーマに、イラスト、ZINE、アートブック、雑貨などを制作しています。
現在は国内外のアートブックフェアや展示に参加しながら、アジア各地を旅し、人々の暮らしや食文化を作品として記録・発表しています。好きな言葉は、文化人類学者・梅棹忠夫さんの「国際交流は平和への第一歩」と、中村哲さんの「日本の国是は平和」。
Born in Akishima, Tokyo. While working as a graphic designer in India and Shanghai, I became deeply fascinated by how food reflects the core of human culture and daily life. After returning to Japan, I designed cookbooks and practical guides before launching ASIAN_FOOD_DESIGN in 2016. Since then, I have been creating illustrations, zines, art books, and lifestyle goods focused on Asian culinary traditions.
Currently, I travel across Asia to document and present local cultures and lifestyles through my work, while actively participating in art book fairs and exhibitions both in Japan and internationally.
My creative philosophy is guided by two powerful insights: "International exchange is the first step toward peace" by cultural anthropologist Tadao Umesao, and "Japan’s national policy must be peace" by physician and humanitarian Tetsu Nakamura.
