Ogaki Festival Magazine is
a web magazine that sends out the charm of the city of Ogaki and the Ogaki Festival held every year there to the world. In accordance with the fact that the Ogaki festival’s “Yama” event was
registered as “UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage” on December 1st, 2016, this magazine was started in 2018 by “Ogaki Festival World Poster Exhibition Executive Committee”.
The poster exhibition of
the Ogaki Matsuri festival executive committee was launched in May,2017 as the Ogaki Festival was registered as a UNESCO intangible cultural heritage. We developed an exhibition entitled “Ogaki
International Invitation Poster Exhibition” that has been ongoing since 1996 in the form of inviting posters from prominent designers all over the world. Among them, awards and prize-winning
posters are printed on this Mino paper by silk screen and exhibited. We will do activities for the further leap of the Ogaki Festival and poster art.
The Ogaki Poster Museum
was established in 1996 as the first Japanese art museum for poster art. The main purposes are collection, storage, exhibition and research of posters, and the number of art posters in possession
are over ten thousand. In addition, we carried out international invitation poster exhibitions, poster exhibitions by country, solo exhibitions etc. to communicate with graphic designers and
artists all over the world. Through posters, we aim to create great cultural cities.
