From Block to Thread:
Exploring Tokyo’s Cultural Design

從版到布:東京文化設計探索

Introduction|前言

Starting in Tokyo, the program explores ukiyo-e, fashion archives, and letterpress. From observation to practice, it builds craft awareness, aesthetic judgment, and cross-cultural dialogue—turning cultural insights into design methods for future challenges.

東京為起點,探索浮世繪、時尚典藏與活版印刷;從觀察到實作,培養工藝感知、美學判斷與跨文化對話,並將文化體驗化為回應未來挑戰的創意行動。

Tokyo Layers|東京文化疊影

Craft, fashion, and printing are central to Japanese design culture, linking history and the future. This program moves from “observation” to “participation.” Through carving, archival study, and printing, participants refine sensitivity to material and process, translating cultural experience into design practice.

工藝、時尚與印刷是日本設計文化核心,既承載歷史也開啟未來。
從觀察到參與,透過木刻、典藏與印刷實驗,培養材質敏銳度,將文化經驗轉化為設計實踐。

Craft Encounters|工藝的相遇

This workshop cultivates design perception and action: using craft to grasp material and detail, observation to decode the everyday, and dialogue to ignite innovation. Participants refine aesthetic judgment of color, texture, and atmosphere, turning insight into practice and affirming design’s role in shaping society.

工作營培養設計感知與行動力:以工藝操作理解材料與細節,以觀察解構日常,並透過交流激發創新。
學員將深化對色彩、材質與氛圍的美學判斷,把洞察轉化為實踐,並堅信設計在社會中能發揮影響力。

Ukiyo-e Heritage

From Craft to Innovation

From carving to printing, each step demands patience and focus. Layered colors show how precision and persistence create value. Guided by Master Takahashi, participants practice registration and ink control, reflecting on heritage, responsibility, and cultural innovation.

傳承浮世繪:從職人技藝到文化創新

在工坊裡,雕刻與印刷都需耐心。浮世繪疊印展現細膩與堅持、專心即價值。在高橋老師指導下,學員體會對位與墨色的精準,感受工藝挑戰與設計責任,也理解文化如何延續並轉化為新的創意力量。

Layered Color

Precision reveals how time and handwork turn color into narrative.

色彩層疊之美

精準對位與色彩控制,體會「時間與手工」如何讓色彩成為敘事語言。

Cultural Legacy

Takahashi Studio is both workshop and history, inspiring reflection on value and responsibility.

文化承載

高橋工坊既是技藝傳承之所,也是歷史縮影,啟發對工藝價值與責任的思考。

Fashion Archives

Reading Cultural Codes

From runway classics to collaborations, each piece reflects its era. Rare materials invite close study, deconstructing how fabric and paper weave history and innovation, refining sensitivity to texture and design language.

時尚博物館:解構服裝,探索時代文化

從伸展台經典到跨界聯名,每件展品都是時代語彙。參與者近距離欣賞並觸摸少見材質,以「解構」視角探討布料與紙張如何交織歷史與創新,並在細節紋理中感受設計表達。

Letterpress Imprint

Slow Craft Education

Typesetting and printing reveal the weight and touch of metal on paper. Each embossed mark is slow craft education, reminding us that design needs time, patience, and respect for material beyond speed and mass production.

字體印記:凸版印刷與慢工藝教育

在凸版工坊,排版印刷展現鉛字壓紙的重量與觸感。壓痕不只是美感,更是一種慢工藝教育:提醒創作需時間、耐心與材質敬意,而非僅追求速度與量產。

From Culture to Future Design|從文化走向未來設計

Craft, fashion, and print transform cultural experience into creative practices that shape the future.

工藝、時尚與印刷將文化經驗轉化為細緻探索,開啟未來設計的可能。
