Type and table composition carries significant weight in page design. Typesize, typeface, line spacing, kerning, use of rules and colour-various combinations of type and table composition form the life force of the aesthetics on the printed page. This book presents exquiste typographic layout appearing in magazines, books, company brochures, and other Japanese print media categorised as table of contents, text, captions, and tables. A sampler of the diversity that only Japanese typography can make manifest, from works steeped in traditional Japanese aesthetics, to those showing marked Western influence, this single volume is a valuable reference for anyone involved in typographic design in any language.
