The operations of the Tokyo Midtown Design Hub are under the direction of
four institutions who think about the future in terms of design.
Japan Institute of Design Promotion/JDP
Established in 1969, the Japan Institute of Design Promotion (JDP) serves as Japan’s only institution with comprehensive advocacy towards the discipline of design. JDP operates the Good Design Award ("G" Mark) program, which has been continuing for over a half-century, disseminates information about design throughout Japan and around the world, and is engaged in various design promotion initiatives, such as supporting business through the use of design and human-resource training across the field of design.
