Japan is very in-tune with recycling, reusing and re-purposing goods that have already been used. Whilst there are many innovative and new things coming from Japan, it is one of the only countries that revolves mainly around minimalism or zen so as to make it as universal and timeless as possible.

Germany on the other hand is more forward with their designs and does not mind exploring and innovating completely new products as long as the functionality is there.

For Japanese architecture design: Japanese traditional Zen philosophy inspires the simplistic, natural essence found in minimalist architecture and design. Line, form, space, light and material are but a few of the essential elements central to this widely popular design aesthetic.

German design has a certain minimalist appearance closely linked to the idea of efficiency. German design has a reputation for engineering quality but it often looks very functional and a bit unemotional.
