Curves (2013x6)

Air date: Aug 07, 2014

The evocative, energetic curves found in Japanese design - in the roofs of temples and shrines, in swords and in family crests - reflect an admiration for the curving forms of nature. Contemporary Japanese designers exhibit a unique mastery of the curve. Today's guest is Shoryu Hatoba, a painter of family crests who employs traditional methods passed down through generations of his family. Join us as we explore the role of curves in Japanese design.
