Iro: The Essence of Colour in Japanese Design celebrates a curated selection of 200 traditional colours (iro in Japanese), with each 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.
The traditional colors 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 is the first and only survey of Japanese design as seen through the lens of Japan’s traditional color spectrum – an exquisitely packaged fresh take on a universally popular topic.
The book is bound in traditional Japanese style, featuring an almost fabric-like cover with contrast stitching — making it an eye-catching object in its own right and a must-have for all those who are fond of design.
