The story of Japanese design, told through works selected from the
collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Japanese
designers' special ability to combine aesthetic tradition with
contemporary visual culture and material innovation has created a
distinctive and exceptionally successful design industry in Japan,
which has produced such divergent icons of modern design as Sori
Yanagi's Butterfly Stool, the Sony Walkman, the Honey-Pop Armchair
by Tokujin Yoshioka, and the Toyota Prius. This book traces the
development of Japanese design from the country's craft revival in
the early twentieth century to the extraordinary objects of high
technology that have been a specialty of Japanese designers since
mid-century. Paola Antonelli's lively introduction provides an
overview of Japan's design culture; an essay and timeline by Penny
Sparke illuminate the masterpieces of modern Japanese design that
are superbly reproduced in the volume's plate section.
