Japanese Style Design Perspective Tankobon Japan
Key Features
- ✔ Discover the profound insights of "Design Perspective - Showcasing Japanese Style," a comprehensive book that explores the essence of Japanese craftsmanship and cultural sensibilities through a design lens. From Jomon-era flame-shaped pottery to cutting-edge wearable cyborg technology, this work delves into what constitutes the Japanese sense of "Wa" (harmony) that underpins both material and intangible creations. Authored by renowned scholar Hiroshi Taira, the book offers a cultural and sensory analysis of Japan's historical and modern design ethos, making it an essential read for enthusiasts of Japanese culture, design, and aesthetics.
- ✔ Key features include an in-depth examination of Japan's origins, the influence of natural disasters, seasonal life, and traditional practices such as onsen culture and calligraphy. It discusses what makes "Japanese-style" objects unique, contrasting Western and Japanese perceptions of form, architecture, and daily life. The book also explores Japan's sensory culture, covering visual, auditory, taste, olfactory, balance, tactile, and internal organ sensations, illustrating how these perceptions shape Japanese design and lifestyle. With insights relevant to contemporary and future Japanese cultural expressions, this book is a valuable resource for understanding the subtle yet profound "Wa" that influences Japanese creation.
