"White" is not a book about colors. It is rather Kenya Haras attempt to explore the essence of "White", which he sees as being closely related to the origin of Japanese aesthetics – symbolizing simplicity and subtlety. The central concepts discussed by Kenya Hara in this publication are emptiness and the absolute void. Kenya Hara also sees his work as a designer as a form of communication. Good communication has the distinction of being able to listen to each other, rather than to press one’s opinion onto the opponent. Kenya Hara compares this form of communication with an "empty container". In visual communication, there are equally signals whose signification is limited, as well as signals or symbols such as the cross or the red circle on the Japanese flag, which – like an "empty container" – permit every signification and do not limit imagination. Not alone the fact that the Japanese character for white forms a radical of the character for emptiness has prompted him the closely associate the color white with emptiness.

White not only plays an important role in Japanese culture in general but also in the work of designer Kenya Hara. In '100 Whites', Hara gives one hundred specific examples of white - such as snow, Iceland, rice, and wax. On the basis of these examples he discusses the importance of white in design - not only as a color but as a philosophy. Hara describes how he experiments with the different whites he mentions, what they mean in the process of his work, and how they influence design today. '100 Whites' is the extension of his previously published book 'White'. The new publication explores the essence of white, which Hara sees as symbolizing simplicity and subtlety. Kenya Hara, born in 1958, is a Japanese graphic designer and professor at the Musashino Art University. Since 2002 he has been the art director for MUJI. He is interested in the circumstances and conditions of design, and not the things. His interests have become crystallized through various international exhibitions and he has been awarded many prizes, including the Japanese Cultural Design Award.

Les démarches collaborées, dans le champ du design, des pratiques artistiques et professionnelles, des sciences appliquées et des techniques, imbriquant la recherche, la création et l'action, sont toujours stimulantes à observer pour un individu en formation. Elles offrent la possibilité d'une recherche pensée comme le passage entre l'action et la poétique, dans une mise à distance du quotidien mêlant l'expérimentation et le projet. Dans un tournant pragmatique et réflexif, où la richesse d'une recherche naît du croisement disciplinaire (de l'anthropologie aux arts, du design à l'histoire sociale, du sociomarketing à l'image, de l'espace aux conditions de vision, du rituel à la linguistique), la couleur blanche forme les exercices d'une expérience globale, celle du passé, mais aussi celle de demain. Blanc(s), un devenir de la couleur en train de se construire. Il s'agit ici d'un ensemble de textes issus d'un colloque international et de journées d'études ayant eu lieu dans le cadre d'une manifestation artistique et culturelle sur la couleur blanche, à Toulouse et Montauban.
