Infosession | New Old Japan – Contemporary "Giwafu" Design Guidebook

This travel course visited various Japanese traditional design centers, including architecture, landscape, ceramics, woodworks, textiles, papers, and other products, while exploring the modern and contemporary appropriation of the traditional language. During the explorations, students made observations and produced drawings depicting their perceived "Japanese form." The drawings were compiled into a "Giwafu Design Guidebook,” which informed students’ Giwafu design as a resulting outcome of this course.
