Graphic Elements of the World n°3 by Yasaburo Kuwayama (1984)

Over 3300 pictograms in the third volume of a series edited by Yasaburo Kuwayama focusing on pictograms for signage and more.

This book showcases a huge collection of pictograms from around the world and is a fantastic reference book for architecture or any creative project where you need to communicate important information without words.

Divided into four sections, the book shows how according to different cultures, we represent basic elements and notions differently. 

From separating bathrooms, to symbolizing animals, food-types, medicines, music, road traffic, we use different signs to signify the same elements.
