Review: "For this book, Shu Hagiwara, author and design director, has selected Japanese-designed products that had a great impact over the post-World War II period. His curiosity led him on a search for these products' beginnings. From Hagiwara's text, we learn much about these elegant, witty and beautiful designs and the process from concept to finished product. We also see their origins expressed in photography by the celebrated photographer Masashi Kuma."--BOOK JACKET.
