how to wrap five eggs, a mid-60s classic of  japanese design.
assembled by graphic designer hikeyuki oka in 1965 , black and white photos by michikazu sakai. 

george nelson wrote the forward to the 1967 american publication of the book, where he noted, "what we have lost for sure is what this book is all about: a once-common sense of fitness in the relationships between hand, material, use and shape, and above all, a sense of 
delight in the look  and fell of very ordinary, humble things."
