NUNO是日本重要的纺织品公司，以日语中“布”的意思命名。它于1984年由传奇人物新井纯一和公司现任董事须藤玲子创立，并因将传统和尖端技术结合而受到认可。NUNO的设计师受到过去、现在、未来的启发，将意想不到的元素，如纸、羽毛、铝，与工业方法，如溅镀、化学蚀刻相结合。所有的NUNO纺织品都是在日本生产的，已经创造了超过2500个，通常是个别工匠的手工作品。每一匹布都有一个故事要讲。

NUNO的纺织品经常出现在书籍、纺织品展览和博物馆收藏中，但本卷是**本关于他们作品的综合专著。基于采访、档案研究、工厂参观，以及深刻的文字，NUNO用特别委托的照片和图画来说明。本书介绍了最杰出、有影响力、实验性的织物，分为专题章节，每个章节以一个纺织品家族为基础。书中还穿插了来自众多贡献者的富有启发性的文章，从作家村上春树、建筑师伊东丰雄，到设计师原研哉，还有数百张插图，这本独特的资料书提供了对日本纺织的遗产、技术、材料、创新、生产的丰富见解。

Named for the word meaning “cloth” in Japanese, NUNO is one of Japan’s most important textile companies. It was founded in 1984 by the legendary Junichi Ar

ai and the company’s current director, Reiko Sudo, and is recognized for weaving together tradition and cutting-

edge technology. NUNO designers are inspired the past, present, and future, integrating unexpected elements, such as paper, feathers, or aluminum, with industrial

methods, such as spatter-plating and chemical etching. All NUNO textiles—more than 2,500 have been created—

are produced in Japan and are usually the handiwork of individual craftspeople. Each bolt of cloth has a story to tell.

NUNO’s textiles have appeared regularly in books, textile exhibitions, and museum collections, but this volume is the first comprehensive monograph on their work. Based on interviews, archival research, and factory visits and with insightful texts, NUNO is illustrated with specially commissioned photos and drawings. Featuring the most outstanding, influential, and experimental fabrics, the book is organized into thematic chapters, each based on a family of textiles. Interspersed are illuminating essays from a wide range of contributors, from writer Haruki Murakami and architect Toyo Ito to designer Kenya Hara. Including hundreds of illustrations, this unique sourcebook offers rich insights into the heritage, techniques, materials, innovations, and production of one of Japan’s most admired crafts.
