Intermediatheque
Finished
SHARE
Last spring, The University Museum, the University of Tokyo (UMUT) edited “Jikifu” (published by the University of Tokyo Press), a book in the form of a natural history album presenting Shinichiro Ogata’s food design work. Based on his thorough knowledge of Japanese traditions and his own design principles, Ogata reconsiders the primitive act of eating through designs that are not only related to food but also the whole cultural framework surrounding it, going on to advocate a new aesthetics of Japanese cuisine. By capturing representative works of Ogata’s food design in all their beauty in large-scale photographs, this exhibition offers a new perspective on the fusion of Food & Science.
