“rinkak” design concept
In Japanese, rinkak refers to an object’s outline against its background.

The cable that snakes out from the computer becomes the rinkak of a mouse, like a quickly-sketched freehand drawing. The mouse becomes the background, and the cable - until now a supporting actor - takes to the main stage.
