The charm of Japanese culture

It is in Japan that design is developed on the basis of national culture. After a long period of continuous training, it has reached a very simple and exquisite height and formed its own unique national aesthetic standard. The unique harmonious natural factors in culture are integrated into Japanese art design, which makes it have irresistible oriental charm.

Japanese design works show a traditional oriental way of thinking and sensibility, relying on distinctive national traditional visual symbols, such as kimono, tea ceremony, harmonious house, traditional calligraphy, traditional painting and traditional folk customs, which vividly show the typical Japanese style to people. Sometimes it does not contain any traditional visual symbols in the expression of artistic works. It transcends the superficial form of visual symbols and thinks that beauty also exists in the connotation of things, deepening people's understanding of vision into their perception of the soul. At the same time, it simplifies traditional patterns and extracts contemporary wisdom from traditional culture in a modern way of thinking. Based on the traditional "ethereal, nihilistic" Zen thought, combined with the strong tone of "clearing Leng Yan" unique to Japanese art, the pursuit of emerging beauty in art and Leng Yan's emotional world enriches the visual language of design and broadens the thinking of design.

First, the harmony of kimono and the beauty of nature.

Japanese aesthetics likes both abstract beauty and real and meticulous natural beauty. Designers skillfully integrate modern impressions into ancient forms, presenting a solemn and quiet feeling. The Japanese vividly expressed their feelings about art with kimonos. Judging from the design form of kimono, it is loose, and the air holes, sleeves, lapels and skirts can be opened and closed freely, all of which are suitable for the warm and humid climate in Japan. Folk painting, a kind of painting reflecting Japanese kimono, occupies a considerable proportion in Japanese art painting. The real rise of genre painting was in the Edo period, with traditional stories as painting themes, such as original stories and pure glass stories, appearing on the royal screen at that time. This traditional theme is usually expressed by traditional painting techniques. Corresponding to genre painting is ukiyo-e painting. These works are actually kimonos in the eyes of artists, revealing the attitudes and feelings of artists and their contemporaries towards kimonos.

Second, the architectural design embodies the simple natural beauty.

Japan's harmonious architecture and interior embodies a realm of "nature, indifference and elegance", or a natural ecological view it pursues, which is the true essence of the interior characteristics of Japanese traditional architecture. On the one hand, Japan imitates China's architectural style, on the other hand, it combines it with its own inherent culture, creating a "harmonious building" with Japanese characteristics, and gradually forms some Japanese styles such as "sleeping in a temple" and "building in an academy" in residential buildings, as well as some Japanese architectural types such as "history of tea in a grass temple" and "several houses". Compared with the grandeur of China architecture, Japanese architecture is more exquisite, elegant, concise and clean, and it is better at expressing the structural beauty of architectural structure and the beauty of texture and color of materials.

Japanese people have a distinctive strong consciousness and feeling about nature. They enthusiastically praise, praise and love nature, and are very sensitive to nature. Therefore, the indoor atmosphere created under the guidance of this concept and the residential design of daily life have distinct characteristics: the interior is not a part of the space created out of or independent of nature, nor is it an open and natural lifestyle through walls, although it must have the functions of sheltering from the wind and rain, preventing cold and summer. In the house, people concentrate the "dry mountains and rivers" and "tea courts" in Japanese classical gardens with freehand brushwork and introduce them into the room, which is the concentrated embodiment of this view of nature. Third, the beauty of harmony in product design

Japanese designs are small and exquisite, paying great attention to small details. The products they design are all Japanese products in any country in the world. Because Japan creatively and skillfully coordinated the local design based on high technology and the local design originated from national traditional culture in the way of "dual track system", the relationship between the two design concepts came together from opposition, and finally unified with Japanese product design. Japan has mature and rich experience in cutting-edge technology and product processing and manufacturing, and has designed high-tech products with excellent workmanship and excellent performance. Although these design works are highly technical, they can give people a sense of simplicity, elegance and harmony. At the same time, Japanese design expresses the connotation of products with a traditional oriental way of thinking and sensibility, and conveys rich product semantics with bright and concise design symbols. Therefore, Japanese product design is simple in form, but rich in connotation, with traditional oriental charm. Japanese design, even high-tech products, can also reflect the unique emotional and aesthetic needs of the Japanese, as well as the implicit harmonious and natural beauty of the East.
