It presents the careers and work of around 20 designers—among them Kazunari Hattori, Bunpei Yorifuji and the studio Allright—as a deliberately personal selection rather than a definitive canon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimos sets this generation against the mass-production design that served Japan's postwar boom, and considers how environmental, health and nuclear crises have changed practice, as well as the place of women in the field.
