In an attempt to create a new area of research into the history of design in East Asia, a larger region beyond the framework of Japanese border, this research focused on design-related exchanges of people and things among China, Taiwan, Korea and Japan. Specifically, we focused on exhibitions, expositions, educational institutions and students who studied abroad, and published the findings at study meetings and symposia. We held related symposia and conferences at York University in Toronto, Canada in March 2012, at the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo in May 2012, and at Yunlin University in Taiwan in June 2013. In addition, we deepened exchanges with design historians in Taiwan, Korea, Hong Kong and the UK to build a network that would serve as the basis for further research.
