The traditional Japanese colors came into use in the early 17th century, originally to indicate rank and social hierarchy. With the passage of time its meaning has been expanded to reach objects. This book celebrates a selection of 200 colors (iro in Japanese), each hue represented by one or more objects (from 16th-century kimonos to contemporary chairs, from simple kitchen utensils to valuable ceramics) to show readers a deeper appreciation of Japanese design.
It includes objects designed by the greats, such as Naoto Fukasawa, Issey Miyake or Reiko Sudo alongside anonymous works or designers not so well known outside of Japan but who have contributed a lot to defining the legacy of Japanese design.
Written by Rossella Menegazzo, bestselling author Wa: The essence of japanese design , and bound in the same way as that one, with the typical traditional Japanese binding.
