You make an interesting point, which adds the communal aspect of making things for others' enjoyment. Do you have an example or resource on how the Japanese do this exactly?
I find this point interesting when I look at the Macbook I'm using to write this: it is plain, has no "designs" except for the functional aspects it embodies (a screen, a keyboard, a mouse, inputs). Its design does not seek to evoke a response from its user other than the experience that the operating system creates, which can be pleasant sometimes. In this sense, could we say that the design of a Macbook resonates with the craft of the Japanese?
- jschveibinz 6y agoThe true concept of design, as in “industrial design”, takes into account the function and experience of the users. The Japanese word for this I believe is “shokinin” and here is an article on this by someone much more knowledgeable than I am: https://www.realtyninja.com/blog/the-mastery-of-ones-profession/ https://www.realtyninja.com/blog/the-mastery-of-ones-profess...
