Reason for Winning
Japan’s plastic model which has gained high reputation in the world. Tamiya has been driving the industry since its inception. While drawing a dramatic depiction of illustrations as box paintings to evoke the imagination of making hands, actively making use of logo marks and making the total attraction of the package, you can understand the structure of the motif through assembly Tamousomi Tamiya led by the company that thoroughly pursued thought of “model” beyond toy.

In addition, we appointed representative illustrators such as Komatsumazaki Shigeru, Ueda Kenkirou and Takayoshi Takaragi, and we developed a box painting which becomes the face of a plastic model beyond the role of package decoration and established a painting style called box art . In recent years, this box art has reached the point where an exhibition to visit domestic art museums is held. Since 1994 he took office as Shizuoka Model Teaching Materials Cooperative Association.
