Description

White isn’t a book about colors. It’s reasonably Kenya Haras attempt to explore the essence of “White”, which he sees as being closely related to the origin of Japanese aesthetics – symbolizing simplicity and subtlety. The central concepts discussed by Kenya Hara in this publication are emptiness and the absolute void. Kenya Hara also sees his work as a designer as a form of communication. Good communication has the distinction of having the ability to listen to one another, reasonably than to press one’s opinion onto the opponent. Kenya Hara compares this form of communication with an “empty container“. In visual communication, there are equally signals whose signification is limited, in addition to signals or symbols such as the cross or the red circle on the Japanese flag, which – like an “empty container” – permit each signification and don’t limit imagination. Not on my own the truth that the Japanese character for white forms a radical of the character for emptiness has prompted him the closely associate the color white with emptiness.
