6 web design styles that are uniquely Japan

I’ve been a fan of Japanese style design since I started my career as a designer. The uniqueness of culture, lifestyle, and relationship with human and nature are reflected not just in the physical but also in digital form of design, especially on the web design.
When browsing for web design inspiration from Japan with the web design galleries that I previously introduced, I found a few design characteristics that are truly unique in Japan and not commonly seen in English-based website. Without further ado, let’s dive into it.

I always think that in Japan, any angle and any corner will produce beautiful photography, this is because Japan is just simply breathtakingly beautiful in my opinion!
Many websites featured high quality photography that can immediately allowing visitors to quickly immerse into the experience. Also the Japanese words in Mincho font (you can think of it as serif fonts) style are perfectly paired with the images while not grabbing any attention away.
