12 JAPANESE MASTERS

.:Description

After the devastation of World War II, Japanese designers forged a new aesthetic that joined themes of destruction and rebirth with an appreciation for life and an awareness of the world around them. Twelve designers in particular stand out in this regard; this book is a tribute to them. Featuring insightful profiles and stunning visual portfolios, 12 Japanese Masters shows how these creators brought Japanese style into the vanguard of modern design via the fields of fashion, interiors, industrial, product, and graphic design. Among those featured are poster designer Koichi Sato, who merged Western art with traditional Japanese motifs; Issey Miyake, a master in the use of fashion materials and shapes; and Shigeo Fukuda, whose whimsical creations include a two-headed screw and a coffee cup with the handle inside.
