ackaging Your Gift Is A True Art As The Japanese Do It
new YORK. —
Sometimes
tie profound differences between
•ultures are revealed in
their
most mundane activities. Consid­
er, for example, packaging. The
Japan Society and the Americ­
an Federation of Arts in New
York City have, collaborated on
an exhibition called “Tsutsumu:
the Art of the Japanese Packa­
ge,” the first of its kind ever to
be’held in the United States.
Consisting of
approximately
220, exquisitely elegant but ing­
eniously practical containers ma­
de of natural materials for food­

stuffs, personal belongings, and
household objects,- the exhibition
serves as an unprecedented in­
troduction to an aspect of Japa­
nese art and a concept of design
that are almost unknown in the
West.
-The visiting curator, of the ex­
hibition, which will apear at about 12 American museums and
galleries during the next two
years, is Hideyuki' Oka. Mr. Oka
is a 'designer and critic from To­
kyo who began seriously collects
ing Japanese packages- in 1959
and has written two books, “How

to Wrap Five Eggs” and “How
to Wrap Five -More Eggs,”, on
the centuries-old, rapidly dying
art.
In the United States and most
of the Western world we are al­
most. oblivious - of containers. Ours is a throw-away society of
mass-produced brown paper ba­
gs, Saran Wrap, tinfoil, cans —
disposable objects in a genuine
wasteland.
Their anaesthetic, design sugg­
ests an attitude of arch materi­
alism, simultaneously - .exhalting
and degrading what is inside by
