About this piece
"Takashimaya Brochure"
Imagine: Almost
soundlessly, the perfectly crafted yet absurdly delicate paper screen
slides away to reveal the tiny paradise of the Japanese Tea Garden.
Every pebble placed precisely, the only goal to foster
contemplation of the sublime beauty of the simplest form.
The Takashimaya Brochure markets an exotic array of products whose
hallmarks are simple design, flawless form and superb craftsmanship.
The story of the pre-eminent retailer is told through wood block
allusion, exquisite pearlized paper and darkly surprising color
renditions, perfectly executed to entice the shopper to calmly dally in
an oriental oasis on New York’s Fifth Avenue.
The judges found this to be a serendipitous choice as the
FujiPhotoFilm USA Best Use of Color Award, which is proudly presented to
Lithographix of San Francisco.
