DESIGN TALKS - Season 1 Episode 6 Episodul 6
Affected by the East Asian monsoon, Japan receives twice as much rain as the global average. Since ancient times, rain has been an important part of daily life in Japan. It is something to give thanks for, yet also something to fear. This week we take a look at some unique Japanese rain-related designs, and talk with guest John DiCesare, a designer from Canada who will join us as we take a deep look at the unique world of Japanese umbrellas, from ones made using traditional construction methods to more modern ones made of reusable plastic. We'll also hear from world famous architect Kengo Kuma about his views on the changing role of roofs in Japan. He'll also describe how he took inspiration from the depiction of rain in a famous Japanese woodblock print by Ando Hiroshige when he was designing the roof of Nakagawa-machi Bato Hiroshige Museum of Art, a prominent art museum.
