About this product
Product Information
A revealing look at Japanese design weaving together the stories of people who shaped Japan's design industries with social history, economic conditions, and geopolitics. From cars to cameras, design from Japan is ubiquitous. So are perceptions of Japanese design, from calming, carefully crafted minimalism to avant-garde catwalk fashion, or the cute, Kawaii aesthetic populating Tokyo streets. But these portrayals overlook the creativity, generosity, and sheer hard work that has gone into creating and maintaining design industries in Japan. In Designing Modern Japan , Sarah Teasley deftly weaves together the personal stories of people who shaped and shape Japan's design industries with social history, economic conditions, and geopolitics.. Key to her account is how design has been a strategy to help communities thrive during turbulent times, and for making life better along the way. Deeply researched and superbly illustrated, Designing Modern Japan appeals to a wide audience for Japanese design, history, and culture.

Reviews
This shrewd and elegantly illustrated book shows how Japanese designers and manufacturers have used design 'to weather change and sometimes as a lever to accelerate change.' Focusing on their institution-building and meaning-making activities, Teasley traces how a variety of carefully-designed objects and images circulated around Japan, through the empire, and across the globe. The result, like the objects under study, is the narrative they created of Japan itself as transnational, modernist, and enduring., Teasley situates design movements within their political, economic, and social contexts to elucidate not just the how of design but the why. The detailed background of historical processes makes the book accessible to nonspecialists and those in corollary fields like marketing and economic history. The inclusive approach covers a variety of design outlets: graphic design like magazine covers, advertising, and packaging; craft production like lacquer and ceramics; consumer goods like fans and cars; and intangibles like fashion all receive their due., Teasley draws on a rich and varied collection of sources to weave history, sociology, design commentary, and fascinating anecdotes into her account of the evolution of Japanese design following the country's Meiji Restoration of 1868. . . . Designing Modern Japan has much to offer readers who are interested in the cultural and social history of modern Japan as well as the many transformations of design in Japan as it emerged from a feudal society into a global economy. The photographs and illustrations, accompanied by Teasley's informed commentary, provide a fascinating glimpse into the lives of Japanese people and their aspirations at a time of tumultuous change from the late nineteenth century onward. . . . Peppered with fascinating historical data. . . . The meticulous research could make this book read almost like an academic study, but Teasley's accessible style and expert commentary make it equally rewarding for the general reader., Teasley's meticulously detailed account of Japanese design history gives a satisfyingly complete picture of design as a practice that people have--and continue--to use for their own end., In this excellent book tracing the development of modern Japanese design over a century and a half, Teasley encourages communication between historians and scholars of design by weaving usually separate strands of scholarship into a rich fabric that is accessible and useful to students and scholars in both fields., A vibrant and powerful decoding of the modern history of Japan through design. A new and incomparable classic.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
