White holds a significant place in Japanese culture, and this significance extends to the work of designer Kenya Hara. In his book titled 100 Whites, Hara presents a comprehensive collection of one hundred examples of white, encompassing various elements such as snow, Iceland, rice, and wax. Through these examples, Hara delves into the profound importance of white in design, recognizing it not only as a color but also as a philosophy.

Hara elucidates his experimental approach to exploring the diverse whites he mentions, elucidating their meanings and their impact on his work. He also discusses how these whites have shaped and influenced contemporary design practices.

100 Whites is a continuation of Hara's earlier publication, White, which further deepens his exploration of the essence of white. Hara views white as a symbol of simplicity and subtlety, emphasizing its ability to create a sense of tranquility and elegance.

Through his meticulous examination of white and its various manifestations, Hara offers valuable insights into the art of design and its power to convey meaning and emotion. 100 Whites is a captivating and thought-provoking exploration of color and its cultural significance, making it a must-read for design enthusiasts and anyone interested in the aesthetics of everyday objects.
