What Digital Product Designers can learn from the Japanese Culture
When it comes to navigating digital complexity and drawing inspiration from the traditional culture, the Japanese know exactly what they are doing. We wanted to discover what we, as Scandinavian designers, could learn from Japanese design and culture. So we from Design Matters, spent five days in Tokyo to find new perspectives on digital design.

A cute, cheap death trap? Japanese Kei cars banned by yet another US state
Kei cars are the antithesis of the big American SUV. Where EPA regulations effectively penalize automakers for building smaller, more efficient cars, Japan's Kei car regulations cap size, weight, and power to just fractions.

32 Movies Quentin Tarantino Doesn’t Like, from ‘Atomic Blonde’ and ‘1917’ to ‘Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade’
Love him or hate him, what Quentin Tarantino has achieved over his more than 30 years of filmmaking is inarguably impressive.

京都滞在中に『南禅寺』へお参りに！/Visit to "Nanzenji" Temple during my stay in Kyoto! - Art Japan−Seeker after the Truth
■今月は、京都四条烏丸を日帰りで訪れる所要があり、その時間の前後の時間を利用して、早朝の静かな時間帯を狙って、松やモミジの緑の若葉の美しい南禅寺を訪れました。 ・南禅寺の正称は『瑞龍山太平興国南禅禅寺「ずいりゅうざんたいへいこうこくなんぜんぜんじ」』と呼ばれ、臨済宗南禅寺派の大本山です。南禅寺で、最も有名な建造物が「三門」で、別名「天下龍門」とも呼ばれる南禅寺の三門は、「五鳳楼」と呼ばれる楼が美しく、日本三大門の1つと言われています。1295年に創立されましたが、火災で焼失し、今の三門は1628年に再建されたものの様です。今回、私は、上りませんでしたが、歴史的な古い急な階段を上って楼上へ行くと、22メートルの三門からは、高い建物がない京都市街を見渡すことが出来るようです。南禅寺三門は2階建てになっており、楼上内陣には、本尊宝冠釈迦座像「ほうかんしゃかざぞう」を主に、月蓋長者「がっかいちょう
Via LinkedIn, I learned about an article called “The age of Agile must end” by Michael Burnett, and I’ve since seen it pop up again in other forums. I found the article to be filled with misconceptions but given enough people have somehow found it insightful, I thought it might be worth writing a response. At first, I thought “The age of Agile must end” was an example of the cargo cult reinvention

Many foreigners who plan to stay for the long term in Japan wonder if they should buy a house or apartment or rent a place.
