I have introduced about the exhibition “Khadi: The Fabric of India’s Tomorrow – Homage to Martand Singh -“ at 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT over two times.

Both the content and the ways of exhibition are great, and the words of Mr. Singh (the producer and the curator of this exhibition) caught my heart at most.

There is an infinite number of whites…
White of the jasmine flower,
White of the sea form,
White of the august moon,
White of the conch shell,
White of the clouds that have been emptied of rain.

Handmade Kadhi has different expressions one by one, a beautiful cloth expressing the difference delicately the white. The above his words are very nice which imaged Kadhi with countless white, and I feel so happy to imagine the beauties. Why I was caught my heart is “White”.

I have been thinking about “White” since I read a book “White by Kenya Hara“, Something always is in my head somewhere is “White”.

It is very wonder something like if it is color or not.
It is treated as important meaning in various cultures, and there is very special roles of white here in Japan as well. I still would like to know about “White” a lot, and Mr. Singh’s words reminded me of the brilliance.

Also I was touched by the scenes and subjects that resonate in the heart are the same even in different culture.

There is a poster of the words

I would write about “White” deeply next chance but I introduce the book “White” by Kenya Hara (Japanese graphic designer) for now.
