This exhibit features the artist books and media which documents the project undertaken by 6 Japan-based designers with members of the All Japan Printing Association. Each team of designer & printer pushed and broke boundaries of printing to show the high quality of Japanese printing. Curated & produced by Hexa project, the original show was a part of the KANSEI – Japan Design Exhibition (organizer METI & JETRO) held at the Louvre Les Arts Decoratifs in December 2008.

Theme: “間 (Ma)”—Kansei Design Through Japan Printing

“間–Ma” exists as one part of Japan's culture. Historically Japan has expressed “時間–time” and “空間–space” as one “間–space, interval”. In Japan this unique perspective of space is recognized as the ultimate existence and has taken a firm hold in the culture. With the collaboration of 6 designers and printing companies, this exhibit will communicate this “間–Ma” , which can be said to be the identity of Japan, in relation to design.
