Japan: Fun With Japanese Characters

Pingmag has a feature story about the Dainippon Type Organization, an experimental typography unit founded by the two artists Tetsuya Tsukada and Hidechika in 1993. The group finds fun in breaking Japanese Katakana, Hiragana, and the alphabet into pieces to recompose the parts and produce new characters.
