What are the aesthetic characteristics of Japanese style?

Japanese style is a household style that many people are familiar with. What are the aesthetic characteristics of Japanese style? Today, PChouse will answer them one by one.

With the Tang Dynasty as the boundary, the lifestyle of China people can be divided into two periods. Before the Tang Dynasty, it was popular to sit on the floor, including kneeling, so the furniture was relatively low. After entering the Tang Dynasty, influenced by people from the western regions, sitting with feet down gradually became popular, and high-standard furniture such as chairs and stools began to develop. However, after learning and accepting China's "low bed and short case" lifestyle in the early Tang Dynasty, Japan has kept it to this day, forming a unique and complete system. After the Tang Dynasty, China's decoration and furniture style continued to spread to Japan. For example, Japanese lattice doors and windows, which are very commonly used now, were spread in China during the Song Dynasty. It can be seen that Japanese culture is deeply influenced by China culture.

After Meiji Restoration, in the beautiful rain in Europe, western furniture landed in Japan with western architecture and decoration technology, which had a great impact on Japanese traditional furniture with its reasonable design, perfect modeling and ergonomics. But traditional furniture has not died out. Today, western-style furniture still occupies the mainstream in Japan, and the practice of dual structure has been used to this day.

Generally, the living room, dining room, etc. of Japanese residential buildings are all foreign houses with modern furniture such as sofas and chairs, while the bedrooms are harmonious rooms with traditional furniture such as tatami, lime-sand walls, fir boards, and paper-pasted lattice sliding doors. The lifestyle of "harmony with foreign countries" is accepted by most people, while the whole western or harmonious lifestyle is rare.
