JACCU Corporate Identity Design

JACCU is an acronym of Japanese Art & Culture Centre of Utrecht.
The logo design of JACCU is inspired by ensō circles, which is a long-term practice of Taciser. Hanko seal is a contribution of Hiroko Matsushita, a Japanese artist and designer. It represents “art” and “culture” in Japanese alphabet, kanji.

Together with the corporate identity design, website design is also made by Taciser Sevinc.

YUSHINKAN Tenugui Design

Tenugui is a Japanese towel made of thin cotton fabric. It is widely used in daily life for drying hands, wrapping food pots or decorating rooms. But for a kendo practitioner, it is a special equipment to wear under the head gear. It is also a common gift to exchange between kendo practitioners.

This tenugui is designed specially for members of Yushinkan Iaido & Kendo dojo. Yushinkan is a well-established dojo in Utrecht since 1998. The mon (emblem) of Yushinkan dojo has two ginkgo leaves, inspired by the oldest ginkgo biloba tree of the Netherlands (more than 280-year-old) in Oude Hortus. Behind the ginkgo branch is the Dom Tower, the tallest church tower in the Netherlands and the trademark of Utrecht.

The design of the tenugui is made for chusen technique, which is one of the oldest traditional hand-dyeing techniques in Japan.
