Artist creates seemingly magical book that shines
The original idea was to incorporate the concept of glowing letters in an entire book
Tokyo (Web Desk) - A Japanese artist has captured the imaginations of thousands of dreams and anime fans by creating a book in which the letters keep shining brighter and brighter as the reader approaches its conclusion.
Uka Ohashi, currently studying design at a local art university, developed her wonderful book, 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. However, time was of the essence, so she only made the conclusion as a proof of concept. It still turned out amazing!
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.
