"12 Japanese Masters tells these designers' stories through profiles and visual portfolios. A chronology of postwar design and previously unpublished photographs also illustrate the world these designers encountered as children and young professionals." "In this unprecedented volume, the Maggie Kinser Saiki elucidates the cultural and historic context to the lives and work of the pioneers - all born between 1915 and 1944 - critical in creating this aesthetic, designers still remarkable for their abiding relevance. The book is a tribute to these masters, who created a New Japan out of the old, and brought that nation and its aesthetic to the attention of the rest of the world."--BOOK JACKET.
