Typographism is a student project about the religion of typography. I wrote, designed, and hand-bound this labor of love. It features the commandments (or rules), the typographer's prayer (based on the Lord's Prayer), and the saints, named for various classic typefaces.

kusa awase is a sort of game popular among the aristocrats in Heian era(9th century). they bring along various plants and compare eachother to vie the winner. the idea of the game is reflected into the design of this book.
for this facsimile edition, glossy transparent ink and silk screen technique were used to recreate the surface of Japanese lacquer, which had been used to print the black part of the original binding. to use lacquer in printing was the designer Hashiguchi's idea. this was rare and thought to be very inovative idea then(and today).
草合わせとは平安貴族たちの間で流行った遊び「もの合わせ」の一つで、互いに持ち寄った草花を競い合わせ、優劣を競ったもの。その遊びが装幀のモチーフとなっています。
初版の装幀では、黒い部分に漆が使われました。これは装幀家・橋口五葉による斬新な発想でした。復刻版では、黒いインクの上に艶のある透明インクを何層も重ねて漆の質感を再現しています。
