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.

Primera monografía sobre el diseño japonés que lo estudia y analiza desde la perspectiva de la tradicional paleta de colores japonesaLos tradicionales colores japones comenzaron a usarse a principios del siglo XVII, originalmente para indicar rango y jerarquía social. Con el paso del tiempo su significado se ha ido ampliando hasta llegar a los objetos. Este libro celebra una selección de 200 colores (iro en japonés) , cada tonalidad representada por uno o más objetos (desde kimonos del siglo XVI a sillas contemporáneas, de sencillos utensilios de cocina a valiosas cerámicas) para así mostrarnos a los lectores una más profunda apreciación del diseño japonés. Incluye objetos diseñados por los grandes, como Naoto Fukasawa, Issey Miyake o Reiko Sudo al lado de trabajos anónimos o de diseñadores no tan conocidos fuera de Japón pero que han aportado mucho a la hora de definir el legado del diseño japonés. Escrito por Rossella Menegazzo, autora del éxito Wa:The essence of japanese design, y encuadernado de la misma forma que aquel, con la típica encuadernación tradicional japonesa.
