The first and only survey of Japanese design as seen through the
lens of Japan's traditional colour spectrum - an exquisitely
packaged fresh take on a universally popular topic The traditional
colours of Japan have been in use since the seventh century,
originally to indicate rank and social hierarchy but, over time,
their significance has broadened to include all manner of designed
objects. This landmark volume celebrates a curated selection of 200
colours (iro in Japanese), with each traditional shade illustrated
by one or more items - ranging from 16th-century kimonos to
contemporary chairs, humble kitchen utensils to precious ceramics -
providing a unique route to a deeper appreciation of Japanese
design. Expertly bound in a traditional Japanese style, this
stunning book is a beautiful design object in its own right and is
a must-have for all lovers of design.
