(T2) The Story of Japanese Washitsu Design
Japan is famous for its long history of traditional craft making and its high sensitivity of design. The Japanese government has been promoting the "Cool Japan" concept, and some of the initiatives are setting up the "Cool Japan Fund", to promote the concept of "Cool Japan" overseas, and to cultivate international collaboration. This year, during the IDTE, there will be a Japan Pavilion, supported by the Japanese government, featuring "Japanese Design" (software), and Japanese room "Washitsu 和室" (hardware). It is a great opportunity to gather first-hand information about the fund, and learn more about Japanese design, especially in the interior designing/architecture field.
