Description
White by Kenya Hara explores the essence of "White" as a concept in Japanese aesthetics. At its core, this idea is closely tied to simplicity and subtlety. In this publication, the author delves into two central concepts: emptiness and the absolute void. He also views his work as a designer as a form of communication, one that prioritises listening over imposing one's own opinion. This approach is likened to an "empty container", which allows for multiple interpretations without limiting imagination. The connection between the Japanese character for white and the concept of emptiness has led Hara to associate the color white with this idea.
