"Katachi: Japanese Sacred Geometry (Third Printing)" is a collaborative work by renowned Japanese photographer Takeji Iwamiya and fellow designer and art director Kazuya Takaoka. The "Katachi" series, depicting the functional and traditional beauty of Japan, is Iwamiya's signature work. While a collection of his works was published in the early 1960s, this popular edition has been designed by Kazuya Takaoka. Through architecture such as shrines and temples, and everyday items like kimonos, this masterpiece continues to portray the traditional beauty of Japanese objects, from the beauty of history and function to the beauty of form and color. This massive work, spanning over 400 pages, is divided into chapters on "paper," "wood," "bamboo," "textile," "earth," "iron," and "stone." Published in 1999, first edition, first printing.
