    Because it’s a very soothing environment, without the clutter of daily life. Note that there are no clothes, papers, television to distract the senses, and everything that is visible is very high quality, made of natural materials - wood, bamboo, ceramics, natural fibers, lots of daylight and plants. Not to say that people who practice this kind of minimalism don’t have clothes, tvs, computers etc., but they are stored in such a way that they aren’t visible. This is totally doable, just have a few high quality pieces of furniture and get rid of anything cheap or poorly made, and hide the clutter of daily life. Add light, plants and fresh air.

    The majority of the Japanese do not live in traditional wooden houses any longer. Modern Japanese homes are tiny and cramped, not at all in this Western "Japanese minimalism" style. This is a purely Western projection that is counting on naive people who never lived in Japan. There is no such thing as effortless beauty in Japan. Women spend hours on doing their make-up before work, stone gardens are few and have to be attended to each day. This text is nonsense.
