The Codes and Modes of Origata
Origata (the ancient Japanese art of wrapping and tying gifts) traces back 700 years to Muromachi period and the rituals of the samurai class. While the art has shifted and transformed with the times, the roots still lie within these Medieval Japanese traditions. This book explores the origin, history, and the inner connection between origata and modern design.
