Résumé:
White not only plays an important role in Japanese cultures in general but also in the work of Kenya Hara, art director for Muji. In ''100 Whites,'' Hara gives 100 examples of white, such as snow, Iceland, rice and wax. On the basis of these examples he discusses the importance of white in design—not only as a color but as a philosophy. Hara describes how he experiments with the different whites he instances, what they mean in the process of his work and how they influence design today. ''100 Whites'' is the extension of Hara's previously published book ''White.'' The publication explores the essence of white, which Hara sees as symbolizing simplicity and subtlety.
