Kawaka Ikehara
Kawaka Ikehara is credited with the design of the first Japanese metal types. According to Yukari Haruta, his typeface provided a bridge between the unique Japanese calligraphy (Wayo) in use until the late Edo period and modern typographic forms from the Meiji period, and its influence deserves wider recognition. Ikehara was not as well-known as Tomiji Hirano and Shozo Motoki, who are usually credited with the importation of Western typography to Japan in the late nineteenth century. However, it was Ikehara who provided them with the drawings of their typefaces. |
