侘寂 · Design System & Deck Kit

A quiet system, built for restraint.

The visual language behind the portfolio — washi paper, sumi ink, and a single persimmon seal. Use this page to build slides that feel like one continuous piece with the site.

Principles

01
Ma — negative space

Emptiness is a material. Let generous margins and quiet gaps carry as much weight as the content. Never fill a slide edge to edge.

Restraint

One accent, one idea per surface. Sumi-ink type on warm paper; the persimmon seal appears once, never as decoration. Subtract before you add.

Imperfect calm

Soft hairlines, a faint paper grain, an unclosed ensō circle. Nothing crisp or synthetic — warmth and a hand-made hush throughout.
