Publisher’s Note
uchi for the Leading Part Company of Osaka, represent some of the most ingenious and attractive applications of geometrical and optical design to be found today. Expressive of fluidity, stability, radiation, etc., their application is almost limitless. The designs can be broken down into three main categories: circular (pages 1–93); predominantly square (pages 94–165); alphabets and numbers (pages 166–170).
