Description
Japanese Design Since 1945 : A Complete SourcebookDesign in Japan is deeply rooted in the country's historic craft culture, profound understanding of materials and commitment to functionality. These qualities yield chairs, cups and other daily use items which are easy on the eye, comfortable in the hand and always do their job well. Even as mass manufacturing became widespread in the post war period and cross cultural exchanges began to take place with the West, Japan held fast to these core values
Design in Japan is deeply rooted in the country's historic craft culture, profound understanding of materials and commitment to functionality. These qualities yield chairs, cups and other daily use items which are easy on the eye, comfortable in the hand and always do their job well. Even as mass manufacturing became widespread in the post-war period and cross-cultural exchanges began to take place with the West, Japan held fast to these core values and practices.This dedication has given rise to timeless objects of great beauty and utility as well as innovations in materials, form and technology. Far beyond design icons such as the Kikkoman Soy Sauce Bottle, Sori Yanagi's Butterfly Stool, and the Sony Walkman (R), the products and objects created in Japan over the past seven decades serve to delight and draw admiration. In recent years, a new generation of designers, including Naoto Fukasawa, nendo and Tokujin Yoshioka, have taken Japanese creativity into exciting new territory: some are eliminating objects entirely, others are reimagining what an object could be.
Though Japan has developed some of the world's most sophisticated robotic manufacturing complexes, many of its most appealing products are made by small factories and workshops whose artisans use their hands as much as machines. This impressive volume is the most complete overview of Japanese design to date and its exquisite presentation is itself a beautiful example of Japanese design. Including profiles of over 70 creators, the book is based on the author's interviews with designers, their colleagues and family members, as well as leading curators and critics.
The profiles are accompanied by short takes on iconic products and essays on related topics by Japanese and Western design experts. Featuring hundreds of objects, this volume will become the definitive work on the subject for many years to come.

Disappointed
Size: Medium, Color: Blue
This item runs very very small for men! I have tried this jacket in 2 different sizes for my 14 year old grandson and they don’t fit.

This tux was really cool and looked nice, but it was a tad too small. Needed it one size bigger!

Pleasantly surprised by fit and finish
Size: X-Small, Color: Royal Blue
I usually wear bespoke suits, but I thought I'd give these a try. I'm a 38R in US sizes and I ordered the XS size. The jacket and vest fit nicely and looks sleek. The pants are a bit long, but easily hemmed. The material feels nice and the blue is vibrant. It comes in a bag so you will need to spend some time to steam out the creases and wrinkles. The ensemble gives a modern fitted aesthetic without being tight and uncomfortable and is provides a really good budget value. I can say yet how it will stand up to the test of time, but it's off to a good start.
