Junichi Nakahara

Junichi Nakahara(1912-1983) pursued beauty through fashion, interior and lifestyle in a career which spanned the prewar and postwar periods and gained the wide endorsement of many women.
Nakahara became a charismatic symbol in his quest to bring richness and beauty into women’s lives, following his cause through numerous fields not only of magazine editing and illustration but also in his role as fashion designer, hair and make up artist, stylist, interior designer, producer and doll maker, revealing a touch of genius across these many disciplines.
This exhibition commemorates 100 years since his birth with a collection of over 400 illustrations and documents from his prolific career including 3 original cover illustrations for the “Himawari” magazine, a range of style illustrations, dolls and magazine collections, attempting to trace his timeless aesthetic.
