Why this Japanese color book is a must-have

Sanzo Wada (1883-1967) was far ahead of his time. During the turbulent Taisho and early Showa periods, he laid the foundation for modern color research in Japan. His vision of aesthetics remains surprisingly relevant for contemporary design today.

In this book, you will find:

• 348 unique color combinations: Ranging from subtle duos and trios to complex four-color schemes.

• Japanese aesthetics: A unique perspective on traditional and modern Japanese color perception.

• Practical CMYK values: Directly applicable for graphic design and print work.

• Moodboard tools: The back of the book features cutout color samples to help you create physical color palettes.
