'Designing Japan: A Future Built on Aesthetics' by Kenya Hara
$35.00
Through quiet reflection and measured insight, Kenya Hara examines the essence of Japanese design – from the austere elegance of traditional crafts to contemporary minimalism. As Muji's art director, Hara's philosophy embraces emptiness as a vessel for possibility, showing how deliberate restraint and careful consideration shape our material world. Drawing from both historical precedent and contemporary practice, Hara explores how strategic reduction and materiality inform the Japanese design vocabulary. A thoughtful journey through time, space, and the profound simplicity that defines Japanese aesthetics.
