Includes endpaper maps, informative text by Hideyuki Oka, who died in 1995 and was the head of the Oka Studios, and stunning gravure photographs by Michikazu Sakai. "Clearly this is a book to inspire designers. In capturing the principles of Japanese design, Hideyuki Oka goes beyond packaging to reveal the urge toward visual harmony that has produced the beauties of Japanese architecture, gardening, sculpture, painting - and the unique charm of the throw away teapot one still buys for a few pennies on a Japanese railway platform ..." We will be featuring several books on the decorative arts of Japan this week, including Swords & Tsuba, and a stunning scroll with 58 original watercolors illustrating the techniques of Ikebana. Please stay tuned. "If the craftsmen and 'designers' of old Japan could create beauty with their materials, are we today to accept defeat when faced with ours?"
