Japan is the most Creative counrty. I mean who doesn’t love Luffy, don’t tell me that you don’t now who the luffy is ,of course everyone know the person with 1.5 billion berries bounty on his head 😁.
The Japanese gave us the most amazing things like Anime 🍥, Manga, Bonsai 🌳, Vending Machines and all the kawaii things we loves in Miniso and not to forget the Ramen🍜.Not only is Japan creative, but there’s plenty to learn about creativity from their history and culture that goes back more than 10,000 years.The reason is MAYBE this word Datsuzoku, or the freedom and courage to try new things and just let the imagination out.
Datsuzoku —
A break from daily routine or habit, a certain freedom from the commonplace.
While we are are so busy to be perfect , we keep repeatiting the same things again and again to achive a gole that we think without that we can’t live .But this word , it gives us a break, break from the continuos cycle of repeatiting thr same thing again and again.
Datsuoku gives us permission to look up instead of looking down; to explore what’s possible instead of defaulting to what is.
And i feel like this concept is the one that gave the Japanese culture so much creativity ,while we are so focused on create perfect shapes ,perfect everything, Japanese give it a different approach.They work for ways to break the cycle, which will allow to us spread your creative wings and soar.Here are some websites that i found Creative and Different form what a conventional Design is and most thing about it is not just the Animation and all , But it is Representation.
How they represent themselves is what matters the most.
