One, the characteristics of Japanese modern design

The formation of Japanese modern design style on the one hand, from Japan's own oriental cultural traditions, especially the aesthetic tradition, the importance of nature, the importance of details, the importance of simplicity, simplicity, and the meaning of the spirit of aesthetics; on the other hand, originated from the influence of Western culture, especially by the United States of America's mass consumer culture and the influence of German rationalism. As a result, Japanese design has a dual nature, with parallel development of tradition and modernity. The emergence of two very different things, one is the traditional handicrafts, such as wooden furniture, porcelain, lacquer, etc., such handicrafts simple, elegant, natural, with a strong oriental mood; the other is the mass production of modern industrial products, such as automobiles, household appliances Japanese design in dealing with the relationship between tradition and modernity in the so-called "two-track system

On the one hand, there is the so-called "two-track system" in dealing with the relationship between tradition and modernity.

On the one hand, tradition is systematically studied in the design fields of clothing, packaging, interior design, garden design, handicrafts, etc., in order to maintain the continuity of traditional styles; on the other hand, design in the field of high-tech design is carried out in accordance with the needs of modern economic development. These designs are not directly related to tradition in form, but the basic thinking of the design is still influenced by traditional aesthetic concepts, such as miniaturization, multi-functionality and attention to detail. Through this "dual-track system", traditional culture can be continued and developed in modern society.

The development of Japanese modern design

Taking an overview of Japanese design in general, we can see two completely different characteristics: one is more nationalized, traditional, warm and historical; the other is modern, developmental and international. These two design characteristics can be roughly summarized as follows:

1. Traditional Design I This is basically based on the traditional Japanese national aesthetics, religious, faith-based, and closely related to the daily lives of Japanese people. Therefore, it is a national design tradition. This type of design is mainly for the Japanese domestic market, and to a large extent, it is not only a product design, but also an integral part of the culture. Japanese traditional design has been developed on the basis of Japanese national culture, and over a long period of time, it has been refined to a high level of simplicity and sophistication, and has developed its own special national aesthetic standards.

2. Modern design, especially after the Second World War - Japanese modern design was developed entirely on the basis of experience learned from foreign countries, especially from the United States and Europe. Utilizing imported technology and serving for export was a very important center and purpose of the development of Japanese modern design. Domestically speaking, Japanese modern design greatly improved the living standard of the post-war Japanese people and provided a new westernized and modernized way of life; in terms of international trade, Japanese modern design made Japan's export reach the peak, greatly promoted Japan's export trade, set up a solid foundation for Japanese product export, and set up a very positive image for Japanese design, which put the image of the poor product quality and backward design of the pre-war Japan into a very positive one. The pre-war image of Japan as a country with poor product quality and backward design was swept away. Now, Japanese design is synonymous with good design, and Made in Japan is synonymous with excellent products. Therefore, it can be said that modern Japanese design is for the modern lifestyle of the Japanese people and for the Japanese export trade.
