Sanzo Wada (1883–1967), a pioneering artist, educator, and designer of costumes and kimonos, revolutionized color theory by blending traditional Japanese aesthetics with Western design principles. Working during a transformative era in avant-garde Japanese art and cinema, Wada created innovative color palettes that became foundational to modern color studies. This beautifully designed volume draws from his acclaimed 6-volume series of the 1930s, presenting 348 carefully curated color combinations that are as visually striking and refined as the book itself.
