  • A compilation of some of our most loved Japanese homes that we’ve shared on Never Too Small, featuring small home designs for families, tiny plots deep in the heart of Tokyo smaller than a car parking space, oddly shaped homes spread across multiple levels. All examples of beautiful and detailed design, even if at times outwardly chaotic.

    Interesting to see that everyone non-Japanese is trying to copy Japanese style and keep very minimalistic and uncluttered places, but the real Japanese places you feature are somewhat cluttered

      That's an interesting and true observation. I know that Japandi is in at the moment in the west and that shares the core philosophies that both styles have. I guess maybe it's more to do with space being a premium in the city in Japan, and maybe the wabi sabi approach? When it comes down to storage they are very innovative, both the traditional Kyoto homes and the uber modern Tokyo appartments are a great example. A house that is a little busy (not too much) and well lived, is one that is warm, inviting and homely 😊

      That is my experience also. The mindset is more driven towards a balance and not towards an ideal.
      It's okay if a home looks like a home to someone and not like an empty hotel room. Especially with families, there's often not a lot of furniture considering how many items we surround ourselves with in modern society.

      That’s the difference between showcasing photo/videography and real life. Often times magazine and videos presents the perfect zen environment - but in reality especially with young kids it’s never the case. Even Marie Kondo has admitted defeat.

    Wonderful mix of small Japanese homes, always very inspiring to watch these modern builds and adore the Japanese style over all, both new and old (especially the older traditional Kyoto style). I can't help but notice very intetestingly that what we call the gorgeous 'Japandi' style here in the west, seems to be the modern standard style in Japan, is this correct to say? It seems to have commonalities now that concrete/stone, alternative lighter shades of wood and glass has become more popular for building over there, the lines seems to be blurred? Thank you for the upload and hope to see some more in the future 😊

    When I got the keys to the apartment without refurbishment, I was confused by how small it seemed. After refurbishing, the concrete walls became beige, white, and in some places, dark blue. The perceived space of the apartment almost doubled. Do not leave it in concrete. It makes your life feel cramped.

    • @boodubai
      @boodubai 15 днів тому

      There are many borrowed words from English which they usually write in Katakana (angular style writing). Hiragana is for traditional Japanese words and for kids learning how to write. Kanji are the characters which is like the Chinese writings. I reckon the "Japanized" English words would be written the same in Kanji since it's more symbolic.

    Very monochrome and to me, very bland. Colors are mostly absent, utilizing gray, white, and metal. The dwellings are very narrow and high-ceilinged, with a definite lack of windows. I bet there's an echo! Because of all this, combined with the absent color, I found almost each home to be depressing. I can't imagine being a child in this atmosphere. Good use of color stimulates the mind. I do find the clever use of space to be an excellent way to tuck away everything a person needs but doesn't want under foot. However, space-saving storage can't make the house into a home.
