I came to Japan by my own to stay 2 months and a half. I love japanese
culture and I have many japanese friends, so I decided coming to know their
country a little more. I also studied japanese in Brazil, but wanted to
practice a little more on real life occasions. Kyoto was my "base"
so I could go to other places and then come back here to my room in Yurakuso.
I could visit places from Fukuoka to Sapporo and I was always impressed
by japanese's good manners with everything. Most brazilians don't care
a lot about public space environment, so it was impressive to see how japanese
people take care of their country so well, people cleaning the streets
just to make environment nice. From all places I visited, Kyoto is the
one I really feel at home, Yurakuso is located on a very peaceful place
and it's perfect to go out for a stroll on the border of Kamogawa, watching
mountains and trees. I could see trees changing colors and losing theirs
leaves, I will never forget such landscape Kyoto provided me. There is
no four seasons stuff like this in Brazil because weather is very unstable.
I will miss japanese environment, lamen, karaoke and obviously, my friends.
Japan and Brazil are opposite countries not only geographically speaking,
but also on behavior, that was a great opportunity for me to think about
it and try to find a balance between japanese discipline and brazilian
warming atitudes. Thanks

Hoooi,
I$B!G(Bm a student of Industrial Design in Switzerland,
and now I had the great chance to do an internship in a design office in Kyoto.
Design in Japan-Design in Europe. What are the differencies?
Recently Swiss Designers use a lot of humor when developing their projects.
A good example is one of the most famous Swiss designers: Alfredo Haeberli.
He even created the interior of a Kaitenzushi shop in Zurich, , called $B!H(Bginger$B!I(B (shoga / gari) 2 years ago. I interviewed him in his office.
Japanese Design is very simple and functional.
These are some of the most important points in design.
Design process:
Research, brain
storming, finding inspiration, image search, idea sketches, separating,
combining, mind mapping, 2D and 3D rendering(hand and computer), building mock-ups,
shaping, styling, choosing shape, color and materials, modelling, rendering and
in the end realising the product and the final presentation. And always in
between: a lot more brain storming.
In
the Kyoto
design office where I spent 4 months, the office members where so good to me.
They spoiled me and helped me so much. Amazing I can just say. Domo arigato
gozaimasu. And of course we sang KARAOKE together, one of my deepest passions.
In Japan,
too many good things happened to me at once. 2 good 2 B true. The
contrast between tradition and modern life is one of the most fascinating
scenes in Japan,
which we can find every day.
Japanese people are so strong. They keep going on even when it$B!G(Bs so hard.
Without complaining, and always together. Never selfish. Always satisfied.
This and so many other things I can learn from them.
Here
in Japan
I learned to keep control. Very important. We need to ask ourselves before we
blame others.
And I learned about waste. (It$B!G(Bs everywhere.) Zenbu ha mottainai desu.
Totemo mottainai. There is too much of everything. This is getting dangerous.
We need to learn saving energy, power, water, money, electricity, and so
on$B!D(Bpaper$B!D(Bwood$B!D!D!D!D!D(B..
The earth$B!G(Bs resources are not everlasting. We need to be aware of that. I
know it$B!G(Bs hard. But we can try. We should not only consume, we should also
give. OKINI.
