Japanese Design Is More Than Minimalism
VloĆŸit

- Minimalism is just one variation of Japanese culture and design, but it seems as if minimalism ended up representing what the world perceives as the Japanese aesthetic. In this video, let's explore what Japanese design is, and appreciate the everyday, organised chaos of their maximalistic designs that you might have missed.

Like watching ur video, clear presentation, informative
How come u are able to capture that interesting scene in æ„ćžž which I totally forgot itâs existence
I think of things being orderly, neat, practical, but also friendly, e.g. with appliances playing a pleasant melody when turned on.

As a person who has been visiting Japan since the 90's I think Tokyo was NOWHERE near minimalistic like the west thinks. I was completely drawn into the glitzy, sparkly, loud, happening, vibrant & energetic space that is like Ginza at night, Pachinko parlors, game centers & early 90's anime like Ranma, Dragonball z & Sailormoon. I guess that what makes modern Japan attractive
Absolutely! I love the fact that it feels overwhelming!
This video reminded me of my roommate in Japan who is Japanese. Our rooms were the same exact size but even with the most simple things his room looked unique and twice as much more spacious.
He is a designer himself , so there's that.
I love this! I'm slowly building my design portfolio and I wanted to focus on the aspects of Japanese design. Right now, when they say "Japanese-style", it's always narrowed down to minimalism but after intensively researching, I can say that Japanese architecture is actually so much more diverse than it is perceived.
It really is and there's so much to explore other than just minimalism! I haven't been looking at Japanese architecture yet, but it should be interesting to research!
Amazing, this video blew my mind, as a Brazilian, i can feel the drastically cultural difference between us westerns from the Japan approach
This is such an interesting insight. The minimalistic signature of Japan is just an outward facing marketing strategy whilst real Japanese design for Japanese is more maximalist. It's something ive seen but never noticed until now! Awesome video!
that google search for Japanese Design was so relatable. I always liked how they design their graphics but can't find that right reference.
Wow, so interesting! I love Japanese design and anime and manga but I'd never really looked at it in this way before. I think the peaceful, serene idea of Japan and the intense kawaii idea are both really appealing to a lot of westerners. For me these days it's the traditional crafts too.
that espresso experience is exactly what happened to me the first time i ordered one. got a tiny paper cup with an even tiny amount of liquid. had to pretend that i liked it.
That transition at 3:26 is smooth. Felt like the camera dropped due to the earthquake buttt.. not
I'm sorry, that scene transition from the falling camera during the earthquake at 3:26 was **chefs kiss**
Did you ever make the video on Maximalism? was looking forward to it.
This channel is underappreciated
subscribed. awaiting for next episodes
That was an awesome video! Very excited for this series :)
Yay, thank you!!
Such a creative exploration!
Thank you so much!!
This was amazing and I can't wait to see more,
About that YT channel that projects better taste for the foreigners - I do respect that.
Looking forward to your upcoming videos! Keep the quality! Best wishes!
thank you so much!!! trying my best to improve my videos further!
hell yea i'm craving for more content on japanese design, its so few and far between but its such a endless source of fascination.. And this was a great video! Just found this channel but i already love it >:O
Thank you so much!! We'll try to upload more as we learn more about Japanese design!
Would be great to ear more about this subject!
Extremely nuanced and well-researched video. Thank you!!
This was such a God send! I can si relate to the whole Internet searches only talking about minimalism, especially like you so rightly pointed is not the case. I was searching for kawaii information and your video was so helpful overallâ€â€â€
you did a Great Job on this video, thanks for bringing up this perspective.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
i just found this now, but this is an insanely informative video and i love your personal touch you added onto it. you've earned a subscriber and thank you.
ahhh this comment is so thoughtful! thank you so much! hope you enjoy our other videos as well!
i love how she put ă°ăŒă°ă«çż»èšł on the thumbnail
HAHAH OOPs đ€«đ€«đ€« keen eyes
woow! can't wait for the next!
This video was amazing!! Iâd love to see continued content from you about this!
It does feel like Japan has a split personality when it comes to design. Personally I experienced a lot of minimalism in school (I even had a professor who wrote a book on Japanese graphic design) so thatâs what I usually think of first. And now with the Internet, and Japanâs info-rich, and sometimes chaotic looking design (to us westerners), it feels like that side is all thatâs discussed.
Interesting video - Very well put-together. I especially liked the Marie Kondo thumbnail comparisons.
I am covered in traditional style Japanese tattoos, which are full of colour and wild imagery. I love this bright and energetic look, but only when I wear plain and simple shirts or t-shirts with it, to contrast.
Perhaps an important aspect to investigate in both the minimalist and maximalist Japanese styles is the relationship between the two?
No further episodes????
i loved this video with all my soul!! keep on going, this content is fire
Wonderful video
Subbed â€â€
This is great! Pls do more of these videos about Japanese design. đđŒâ€ïž
Yes!! Thank you, will do!
I await your explanations, because these are very important topics. Thanks for creating this video!
I got hypnotized by the video.
I was born for minimalist designs
Low space, high functionality is their philosophy
Hey, really awesome video! Well searched and clearly presented! It's the kind of design content I'd love to see more of here on CZcams.
Subscribed ;)

Baby Driver is my favourite movie so I love your timelapse video : ))

Wow how long did this video take to make?? Itâs so complex and so good!! Iâm a designer and really interested in storytelling around design thinking and how it manifests in culture. Would love to see more from you
great video, i think Kondo isnt as popular in latam and some people have reached the masses dhowing ux in japan tend to be quite cluttered vs the western counterparts, but i would like to understand more on how they pack information
I love it! đplease keep shearing

When you look at Japanese magazines idk how you can consider japanese design minimalistic, it's so fucking chaotic and full of text I hate it
You can read in Japanese
So insightful!

Thank you for this intro, do you have any book or inspiration sources for Japanese (maximalist) design?
What a cool video, I love it!! could you share the title songs of your music? itÂŽs so lovely to listen instead of design at my job. Greetings from Germany!!
Youâre so right! Japanese design is so rich.

MUJI means smth else here in nepal đ
What's the anime with the girl looking at phones?
kaguya-sama: love is war! highly recommended
@@dstoryco thank you!
Great video but I can't understand why at 0.39 minutes in you think they excel at looking good. I lived there for 12 years and their advertising is hideous. I think unless you have your particular bias then most designers would detest the noise in the advertising you showed.
Thank you for your comment! What I meant was that they excel at making a lot of content look presentable, by using different design motifs to point important things out, aesthetically pleasing colour palettes, organised layouts, beautiful photographs etc. While definitely not all things are designed well, I do have an appreciation their thoughts and processes behind it. I like their colour choices and I like how I can spend some time looking at different parts of the ads/magazine covers.
I think what is considered as noise can differ between cultures and different ways of reading. Like what may be a clean, minimalistic website in the western context may seem to lack information and empty for East Asians, and force them to spend time clicking around. Still researching and learning more about these cultural differences though!
lol muji in nepali
"which is something Japan EXCELS at" proceeds to show a bunch of NOT organized stuff.
Girl wtf. You are asian right? Asian design and western design, concerning Web, is very different. That definetely isn't minimalism.
