After stops in London, New York, Paris, Berlin and Istanbul, Detour arrived in the MoMA Design Store of Omotesando, Tokyo.

Detour is a Moleskine traveling group show dedicated to culture and creativity worldwide that features internationally recognised artists, architects, film directors, graphic designers, illustrators and writers. They can present their creative personalities through the Moleskine notebooks they create.

In Detour Tokyo, fifty notebooks are displayed in a special intimately illuminated tunnel, 23 of them by Japanese authors like Toyo Ito, architect; Mamoru Oshii, manga cartoon artist and film director; Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue NIshizawa, architects of studio Sanaa, who designed the New Museum in NY. Kenya Hara, creative director of Muji; Naoto Fukasawa, international star of industrial design.

Visitors have the unique opportunity to touch the paper and flick through the notebooks by wearing special cotton gloves, witnessing the authors' creative process as it unfolds on the pages.

Detour Tokyo is also a permanent Online Gallery. You can flick through the 50 notebooks exhibited in Tokyo here.
