Japanese tradition and modernity go hand in hand.

Japan is a modern and traditional country, an industrial power and the second largest economy in the world. It has created a miracle on such a small land as our province, and the degree of modernization is very high. This paper will deeply discuss the traditional and modern dual-track parallel systems in Japan, as well as the design and development process in Japan.

The degree of modernization is very high.

Tokyo's skyscrapers, modern and fashionable space design are dazzling, and high-tech products are also very developed.

Traditional way of life

But eating, living and using are kept very traditional. Especially in Kyoto, there are few high-rise buildings, mostly low-rise traditional houses. The interior of the living space is tatami, sitting on the floor and sleeping on the floor, retaining a very traditional way of life.

Design is the means of national survival.

Nordic people think that design is an indispensable part of their lives, Americans use it as a tool to make money, while Japanese people think that design is a means of national survival.

American style houses and furniture

After the defeat of Japan, it was occupied by the US military. They want to build barracks, houses, offices and various service facilities for themselves on Japanese land, because the US military can't adapt to the Japanese way of life. American styles and practices were moved to Japan to build American houses and furniture, which were accepted according to American standards, so the technical level was rapidly improved in a short time and reached the world level.

Professional design team

In 1960s, Japan began to set up interior design and furniture design majors. With a professional design team, higher education offers interior design and furniture design majors.
