“一幸庵”是著名和果子艺术家水上力开设的甜点店名，同名的书籍记录了艺术家从业40年来的工作经历，收集了不同季节的点心和艺术家的制作心得，向人们展示了和果子的美丽世界。

和果子是日本茶道中不可缺少的元素之一，它们小巧精致，各自有着与季节相关的图案，供人和茶一起享用。这些点心可以突显茶水细腻的味道，并且为整个茶道仪式增添了几分季节风情。

设计师将和果子看做是一种从日本园林衍生出来的微型景观，二者都对季节进行了抽象描述。依照这种想法，一本描绘和果子的书应该像是一座拥有小花园的建筑，因此书籍的设计中包含了建筑方面的要素。此外，设计师还专门为书籍设计了一个全新的原装封盒，材料采用和果子礼盒常用的桐木，看上去就如点心盒一般。书盒可以被拆成小块，与标题logo的几何形体逻辑一致。

“Ikkoan” was made to reveal to the world the beauty of wagashi, expressing each season’s beauty by confections and the sensitivity of the artisan who makes it. This book is a collection of an extraordinary wagashi artisan, Chikara Mizukami(Ikkoan is name of his shop)’s work, covering 40 years of his career.

Wagashi is an essential element in Japanese tea ceremony. Small enough to fit in a palm, each of these small confections carry seasonal motifs and are served with ceremonial tea. Wagashi accentuates the delicate flavor of the ceremonial tea, while adding a sense of the season to the whole ceremony.

We perceived wagashi as a miniature landscape, being reminiscent of Japanese gardens, as they both describe the seasons abstractly. A book portraying the beauty of wagashi should be something akin to architecture concealing a small garden inside it, so the book was designed to have an architectural aspect. An original case for the book is specially designed to go with the book. The material is paulownia, just like the traditional gift boxes for wagashi. Using a common type of wood for wagashi gift boxes, we explored a completely new form for the book case. After trial and error, we decided on a book case which separates into small parts, inspired by the geometric design of the title logo.

水上制作的和果子以其短暂的光滑纹理和如丝一般精细的口感闻名，因此，设计的第一步就是尝试将这些和果子的特殊纹理再现于书页上。设计师用传统和果子面团在上百种白纸上进行了试验和比较，最终找到了一款最适合展现水上的甜点的纸张。封面的标题采用压花形式，进一步强调了其轻柔的纹理。

The process started with trying to come up of a way to reproduce the unique texture of Mizukami’s wagashi onto the pages. The uniqueness of his wagashi is in its visually smooth and ephemeral texture, which turns to silky, delicate flavors when tasted. Starting off with examining and comparing hundreds of white paper with typical wagashi dough, we finally found a paper ideal for portraying Mizukami’s confections. On the cover of the book, the title logo is embossed on the delicate paper, accentuating the softness of the texture.

翻开书，72种和果子一个接一个映入读者的眼帘，描绘了日本古代日历中的72个季节，这些季节五日一变化，包含了从蛰虫启户到菜虫化蝶的不同景象。书中的照片由一位充满创意的摄影师拍摄，充分体现了和果子的纹理和所表达的季节的精华。

这个完美的装帧设计由描绘季节的和果子，展现和果子的美丽的书本和精致的书盒共同组成，仿佛一栋带有优美花园的日式建筑，给人以宁静的感受。

When you peruse the pages, 72 wagashi appears one after another, describing the 72 Japanese pentads. In this certain solar term descended from ancient times in Japan, season changes once in five days and rotate all 72 seasons, starting from the scenery when cold winds blow from the east and ending with the scenery of a hen sitting and sleeping on eggs. Photography was shot creatively with the utmost care by a brilliant photographer and art director so the essence of the seasons and the unique texture is clear cut to any eye.

Each of the elements – wagashi depicting the seasons, a book portraying wagashi’s beauty, and an intricately designed book case – are perfectly designed, giving birth to a book with the feel of serene Japanese architecture carrying a beautiful garden inside it.
