Minimalism seems to be rooted in Japanese blood.
In fact, this is also very understandable. Living in earthquake-prone areas, Japanese people have to throw away some extra household items.
There is also a psychological factor. The less time and money spent on collecting and increasing these "domestic garbage", the more likely it is to bring a sense of order to the family and even a clean mind.
Let's go with the President (ID: Top News-9) and follow the lens of "Bright Side" to see the life and home furnishings of ordinary Japanese families, and maybe we can get some experience of the essence of minimalism.
▲ In Japan, many families choose not to buy a bed, but sleep on a simple mattress.
▲ An unobstructed bathroom. Cosmetics are hidden in the closet.
▲ There are few clothes in the closet, and clothes that are not often worn will not be bought.
▲ There may even be only one table and one chair in the bedroom.
▲ Sometimes, there are too many chairs!
▲ The refrigerators of Japanese families are also empty.
▲ Cabinets are much better than refrigerators, but the number of pots and pans is still extremely rare.
▲ This covers everything they need …
▲ It is very simple to keep the kitchen clean and tidy when you don't put knives and forks everywhere.
▲ The decorations that are hard to find are very attractive products.
▲ In this kind of study, nothing can divert your attention from work and study.
▲ There are no excessively gorgeous lights.
▲ Less furniture, brighter rooms and better air circulation.
▲ Less furniture, but more living space.
▲ A neat and orderly home can also bring you an orderly mind.
Contrary to the lively atmosphere of China families, Japanese families smell calm and deserted.
In such an environment, the Japanese think they have more space and time to think and sort out their ideas.
