Kamon Design
A thousand years ago Japanese families began adorning their kimonos with stylized geometric shapes called Kamon. These stylized family crests have a timeless beauty...perfect...no need to ever change them in any way.
Well, too bad bucko. Kamon have been ripped into the 21st Century in a new exhibit called Kamon Design. Five contemporary artists have re-imagined Kamon as dazzling, psychedelic super-flat displays. They kind of remind me of the great cartoons of animator Sally Cruikshank.
Kamon Design is currently on display at the CIRCLE culture GALLERY in Berlin.
