It was 2003 when Kenya Hara’s overview of design, Design of Design, was published. This book, with its broad perspective that does not stop with the specialized field of design, is in its 23rd printing. With editions in both traditional and simplified Chinese characters and Korean, it has also gained a wide variety of Asian readers. In 2007, when the English-language tome, Designing Design, with expanded text and illustrations came out, a special edition of the Japanese book was published as well.
