Description
Following the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, Japan is now undergoing a fundamental review of everyday priorities and values, again discovering how simplicity – loving the things at hand, discovering the spirit within them, and using natural materials – form the base of Japanese culture. Thus the creative process gains fresh incentive through an old attitude. The project highlights Japanese aesthetics and technologies with traditional roots, reinterpreting them in a contemporary context, and making them accessible to a wider audience. With texts by Kengo Kuma, Hiroshi Naito, Fumio Nanjo and others, plus special focus on cast ironware, woodwork, glass, ceramics and more.
