In the east the sun rises, in the west it sets.but today this does not mean Fechenheim. Also not Höchst, although the porcelain there can be seen. It's about the land of the rising sun: whether Höchst's porcelain can compete with Japanese craftsmanship? Anyone who has ever visited Japan knows that the people there are masters at creating the greatest possible beauty. The filigree nature is reflected in the use of bamboo, wafer-thin paper or artistically laced kimonos. Visitors encounter the traditional above all in the old imperial city of Kyoto. But who has ever visited the Kyoto Center in downtown Frankfurt? The name is a bit misleading, as it is more of a gem, full of Japanese treasures than a center.
Japan fans among us who long for beautiful forms in design and gardens or authentic products need not feel lost in Frankfurt, then. Rather, thanks in part to a strong community, numerous restaurants and shops can be found in our city. After all, Frankfurt is twinned with Yokohama, the port city on the Pacific.
In Japan, nothing is left to chance: Nature is tamed. In English gardens, by comparison, wild growth reigns supreme.
Where order is such a high priority, beauty need not be neglected. Fascinating ideas for this can be found at "Mujis". The decorator from Nippon Mujis creates useful products such as storage boxes, pens or organiser systems without labels, but enormously practical and of simple chic. Everything fits together; because Japan can not only be beautiful, but also space-saving. Not to be forgotten at this point: the Japan Tower, whose outer façade is modelled on tatami mats; these are bamboo mats that are usually laid out on the floor instead of a carpet in a room.
