From Roger
My biased take on 21st century design in Japan is:
Japan has a unique and appealing artistic design culture, but recently it is dominated by the 4 B's: basics(only), black and white, bare of natural elements, and boring. This may be one reason why there is a revival of interest in the Showa era, particularly the 1950's, 60's, and 70's. Design then had the 3 C's: color, classic elements, and character
