well it looks that way,
it is a seemingly magical book in which the letters keep shining
brighter and brighter as the reader approaches its conclusion, Uka Ohashi, 大橋雨下 @uten_lullaby, an experimental novelist currently studying
design at an art university, created her amazing book as a class assignment,
based on an actual novel that she wrote, the original idea was to incorporate
the concept of glowing letters in an entire book, with the illuminated pages
making up the conclusion and lighting up brighter and brighter as the reader
approached the end, the artist started out by cutting the Japanese characters
into the pages of her book using a precise laser cutter, and then bound them
all in a book with an LED strip glued to the spine, when activated, the LEDs
light a warm, magical light through the pages and create the illusion of
glowing characters,
“I wanted to create a book in which the printed letters keep
glowing brighter as [the story] heads towards its dazzling conclusion,” Ohashi
wrote on Twitter, sadly for fantasy fans, the glowing letter book is not
yet commercially available, but judging by the 43,000 retweets and 156,000
likes that Uka Ohashi’s tweeted photos received, there is definitely an
interest for it, so, who knows, maybe someday the book will be produced, if you'd like to see more of her work, you can follow her
on Twitter and
visit her online shop where you can buy her works, photography by Uka Ohashi, and no I am not on commission, I just thought it looked like a magical book.
