"Graham has crafted a compact, jewel-like resource for all who seek
to understand the sources, evolution, impact, and value of Japanese
aesthetics and design principles in our modern world." --Dr. Jane
Schall, Sanders Sosland Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, The
Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art This beautifully illustrated guide
offers stunning visual examples and detailed discussions of the
objects, aesthetics, philosophy and cultural significance of
Japanese design. Asian art expert Dr. Patricia Graham helps guide
readers through the aspects of Japanese art and design we've all
come to appreciate--whether it's a silk kimono, carefully raked
garden path or modern snack food packaging. From the ten key
characteristics of Japanese design to the Shinto and Buddhist
influences on its aesthetics, this book serves as a great resource
for the different styles and how they developed. Another
fascinating and less explored piece of design in Japan is its
influence on and interpretation by Westerners. From Frank Lloyd
Wright to Lafcadio Hearn, artists, scientists, designers,
journalists and philosophers were inspired by Japan's arts and
crafts in the 19th century. This often romanticized version of
Japanese design--viewed through a Western cultural lens--continues
to influence our view of it to this day. Graham unpacks the
sincere, but sometimes misguided, interpretations of concepts like
wabi sabi and shibui. With more than 200 stunning color photos,
this detailed guide will be enjoyed by everyone from professional
designers to art students, and museum geeks to Japanophiles.
