The Indigenous Patterns and Hotel Okura, Tokyo: Hotel Okura, 1964. 104, blue cloth boards with silver stamped lettering on front, gravure and color illustration, fold-out watercolor by Ken-ichi Shigeoka, text in English and Japanese. Completed for the Tokyo Olympics, the hotel is one huge museum of Japanese classical arts. Is an attempt to interpret to you our concept of hospitality through a generous use of patterns indigenous to Japan on numerous surfaces and fixtures throughout the hotel. It will also illustrate how some ancient expressions of beauty have been successfully translated into a modern architectural reality — from the foreword by Iwajiro Noda. He was also a kabuki set designer.
