Pon Pan

A playful exploration of numbers, shapes, and sounds.

Created by renowned Japanese graphic designer Katsumi Komagata, PON PAN is an interactive picture book that introduces numbers through simple shapes and playful sounds.

Beginning with a series of small, colourful circles, the book explores the concept of counting as the dots gradually multiply. Each turn of the page reveals new arrangements, inviting readers to intuitively discover numbers, patterns, and visual relationships.

Part of Komagata’s celebrated Little Eye series, PON PAN brings together minimalist design, rhythmic sound expressions, and imaginative storytelling. Its carefully considered die-cut pages transform the simple act of counting into an engaging visual experience.

A thoughtfully designed book that encourages curiosity and discovery, appealing to both children and design enthusiasts.
