japanese art, design and culture

administrative stuff

I just wanted to let everyone know that I added some links (on the bottom right) to recommended reading, mostly of books that I’ve featured on my site at one point or another. Right now my top pick is Designing Design, by Kenya Hara. I’m reading it right now and it’s amazing! As you may know, Hara is the art director for minimalist Japanese brand MUJI, and is primarily responsible for their gorgeous less-is-more aesthetic. Designing Design was recently published in English and is now available, conveniently, through amazon!
