The appeal of Japanese architecture

IN the purview of architecture and even interior design, each culture has its own unique way of designing structures, which is a reflection of its identity. If there is one culture whose architectural style has become popular not only in its own country, but in the world, it would be the Japanese.

The Japanese have earned a reputation for their aesthetics and unique approach to design. Consistent with the philosophy based on Zen Buddhism, these are characterized by the use of natural materials, minimalist themes and eschewing the very elaborate and favoring simplicity. The Japanese style has become in demand by those seeking clutter-free yet elegant spaces.
