東京大学：都市生活誌ドキュメンタリー実習
土地の暮らしを訪ねる
学生たちが地方を訪ね、その土地に住む市井の人々の暮らしの中に入る。ときに一夜をともに過ごし、仕事を手伝い、暮らしの様を体験し、記事にまとめる聞き書き実習。はたまた、「土佐和紙の世界」「海の交通の今」など、自身で設定した取材テーマにもとづき、その土地を巡り、インタビューしては写真を撮り、ミニマガジンに仕上げる。
岩田デザイン事務所では、東京大学のこのフィールドワーク実習に参加し、学生たちへのレクチャーや、写真撮影、そして 聞き書き集の編集デザインを手掛けています。
The University of Tokyo: Documentary Fieldwork on Urban Life
Visiting Lives Rooted in Place
Students travel to regional communities to encounter the everyday lives of people who live there. They sometimes spend nights together with local residents, help with their work, and experience daily routines firsthand. Through these encounters, the students produce interview-based narratives that document individual lives and local knowledge.
In other cases, students develop their own research themes—such as “The World of Tosa Washi Paper” or “Contemporary Maritime Transportation.” Based on these themes, they travel through the region conducting interviews, taking photographs, and ultimately producing small magazines that present their field research.
Iwata Design Studio participates in this fieldwork program at the University of Tokyo by giving lectures to students, conducting photographic documentation, and designing and editing publications that compile the students’ interview-based writings.
高知編：材高知深
Kochi Edition: SAIKŌCHISIN
学生たちが執筆した聞き書き記事を一冊の本に。担当教授のプロローグと、岩田自身が撮影した写真ページを入り口に、学生たちの記録した読物記事が展開する編集デザインになっています。
The interview articles written by the students are compiled into a single book. The publication opens with a prologue by the supervising professor and a photographic section shot by Iwata, which serves as a visual introduction to the region. From there, the book unfolds into a series of narrative pieces that document the lives and stories recorded by the students during their fieldwork.
南京（中国）、宮古（岩手県）編
Nanjing (China) / Miyako (Iwate) Editions
南京編では現地の撮影を実施。宮古編では、学生たちの聞き書き記事をまとめたWEBサイトのデザインと、そのダイジェスト版となる冊子をデザインしています。
For the Nanjing edition, on-site photography was conducted locally.
For the Miyako edition, Iwata Design Studio designed a website compiling the students’ interview-based articles. A printed booklet was also produced as a digest version of the project, presenting selected texts and photographs in a concise editorial format.
