Cut
The act of cutting gives life and motion to a material. Cutting tools themselves also have aesthetic appeal: the Japanese katana sword evolved over hundreds of years into a kind of fine art. This time on DESIGN TALKS, we're joined by cut-out artist Risa Fukui, who explains how cutting can create beautiful designs. We'll also look at kaiseki cuisine, in which seasonal vegetables are cut into shapes that evoke the natural world, and at a blacksmith who creates beautiful scissors. Prepare to explore the centuries-long history of Japanese cutting designs.
