This dynamic interplay elevates minimalist forms into profound visual narratives, creating a boundless space of imagery and expression. Beyond an in-depth exploration of these transformations and integration of basic design elements, the book also features exclusive interviews with leading designers, offering firsthand insights into the innovative practices shaping contemporary Japanese design.
