MITATE

Today's topic on Design Talks is the art of mitate. In a mitate work, one object is used to visually represent another seemingly unrelated object. Examples of mitate include traditional Japanese gardens in which rocks and sand are used to represent water. The world of the Japanese tea ceremony is also full of mitate artistry. On this edition of Design Talks, we explore this unique Japanese art form with Yasuhiro Suzuki, an artist whose own works are often inspired by mitate.
