TOKYO BOUSAI, the world's largest disaster prevention publication project
“TOKYO BOUSAI” is a disaster prevention book distributed on September 1, 2015 (Disaster Prevention Day) to 7.5 million households and 1.36 million copies to elementary, junior high, and high schools in Tokyo.

The book is designed to provide people in Tokyo, which is recognized as the city with the highest disaster risk in the world, with important information on disaster prevention in case of emergency, by making disaster prevention thoroughly entertaining. With the yellow and black stripes, which are the warning colors used at construction sites, set as the key icon for urban disaster prevention, we incorporate with various elements such as “manga,” “characters,” “illustrations,” and “universal design,” to create an enjoyable pages on the book for all generations. “TOKYO BOUSAI,” a project which overturned the image of disaster prevention design in Japan, has developed into a nationwide movement, spreading through social networking services whenever an area in Japan is hit by a major disaster.
