In order to understand more about the Japanese culture , I had borrowed the book from NAFA library which was called JAPAN The Arts of Living . It was a quite nice book as I could learn the knowledges of traditional Japanese culture that inspired me .
Traditional furniture design was strongly influenced by architectural considerations . Architecture was basically in harmony with the natural environment . Inside and outside were joined by architectural elements that defined space . To be very honest , the shoji doors and the low-tables inspired me a lot .
The shoji doors was the ancient Japanese furniture that I liked the most . It is made of natural materials such as woods , bamboos and papers . Carpenters with an intuitive grasp of proportion infused the feeling of warmth and beauty into these otherwise inanimate objects , giving them a strong appeal that transcends time .
I had found some pictures of the shoji doors from the book . The wash-paperd shoji at the windows has created an atmosphere of warmth and dignity . It could be implemented in the classrooms that when fused with the practical values of comfort and simplicity , the aesthetic values of elegance and creativity added dimension to the classrooms . Seamlessly combined , these values could create some of the most impressive rooms .
