Design in Japan is deeply rooted in the country's craft culture, its profound understanding of materials, and its commitment to functionality. These qualities result in chairs, cups, and other everyday objects that are pleasing to the eye, comfortable in the hand, and always perform their function well. Even when mass production became widespread in the postwar period and cultural exchanges with the West began, Japan held firm to these fundamental values and practices. This dedication has led to timeless objects of great beauty and utility, as well as innovations in materials, form, and technology.
This stunning volume is the most comprehensive overview of Japanese design to date. It includes profiles of more than 70 creators and draws on the author's interviews with designers, their colleagues and family members, as well as leading curators and critics.
