The soft light spilled from the windows, the daylight refracting from the courtyard, the shimmering light reflecting off the walls and patio.
If you ask, why does Japanese architecture have the charm that shocks the world?
If you are a person who has a sense of everything, there must be a lot of Japanese architecture and houses that you like.
Since ancient times, the Japanese people have developed the concept of building houses in harmony with nature. In Japanese aesthetic thought, art should follow nature, and naturalism is one of its major characteristics.
The public is actually very smart, and even though they have not studied art, architecture, etc., they naturally understand that a systematic aesthetic product is worth having.
Japanese architectural aesthetics is a system of aesthetics that has been developed by dozens of generations in a country for nearly 600 years, and the root of this system is Wabi-sabi.
It is a Japanese aesthetic centered on accepting transience and imperfection. Wabi-sabi rejects the concepts of grandeur, brightness, fussiness, and luxury, and portrays the beauty of fragmentation, simplicity, silence, and nature.
Applying these concepts to understanding, it is no wonder that Japanese design is often said to be full of a kind of aloof style, or a sense of being away from the world.
Japanese designers, in general, have created and developed the aesthetic ideas of Senrihu, and in turn have been influenced by this style, which has brought out a unique temperament.
In fact, when confronted with such a systematic aesthetic style, its premium sense lies in a state of mind creating a certain atmosphere.
Since ancient times, Japan's scarcity of natural resources, coupled with its geographical location in the volcanic earthquake zone, has led to a narrow living space.
After numerous natural disasters and resource shortages, the Japanese people realized the importance of the natural environment and thus developed the virtue of respecting and revering nature. This is why they have developed simple and frugal living habits over a long period of time.
In other Asian countries, there has been a preference for complicated and tedious decorations since ancient times. Japan, on the other hand, has always been a country of simplicity, initially to conserve resources, make the best use of things, and reject all waste.
The Japanese design style is unique in the world and is a leader in both graphic design and industrial design. Japanese art may be both simple and elaborate, both serious and grotesque, both charmingly abstract and realistic in spirit, which is a blend of East and West.
As a result, such culture and thinking have been passed on in modern architectural design, and people like Japanese modern architecture partly due to the influence of modernism on people's aesthetic orientation.
