Over the past 40 years, Japanese designers have led the way in aligning fashion with art and ideology, as well as addressing identity and social politics through dress.

Based on twelve years of research, this book provides a richly detailed and uniquely comprehensive view of the work of these three key designers.

The Art of Japanese Paper

ISBN:
Category : Crafts & Hobbies
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
To the Japanese, paper is far more than the material medium used by Westerners. For them, its purity symbolises the religious offering, and respect for gods and men. Cut out or folded, it extends the code of speech and gesture. Paper also plays a purely utilitarian role, in the form of lanterns, parasols, fans, wrapping paper, or playthings such kites, dolls and origami.
