JAPAN 2010
Contemporary Japan
Post World War buildings adopted first the "unadorned box" style. Steel and concrete replaced the traditional wood constructions. After 1990 the japanese architecture became more daring with unique designs, away from the rectangular forms.

Shopping
Japan is a shopper's paradise, offering everything from high-tech gadgetry
and electronics to traditional arts and crafts.
Packaging is an art. Everything is wrapped, packed, bagged in layers of plastic and paper. Yes, there is big amount of waste in packaging but everything is beautifully done.
