Huh?

Head scratcher for the day.

I don't know about you, but I would not take photos of such a state of chaos, much less show them to other people. But that's just me.

Mmm, wouldn't the true "japanese" room have minimal stuff??

Exactly.

Ha. That's the "ideal" Japanese room. :p My daughter was an exchange student in Japan. She says her host family's tiny dwelling looked just as cluttered - and I saw the pics to prove it.

Dirty little secret

Actually, MY clutter lives on the other side of those blinds. ;-D

I divided the garret because I wanted *some* space where I didn't have to look at mess, clutter, computer desk, piles of laundry that haven't been put away yet....

I am fully capable of making hellacious messes, particularly when I'm in project mode. I just don't take pictures of it!

I've never seen a real Japanese apartment (at least not one that hadn't undergone extensive prep for an architectural photo shoot) that wasn't crammed to the gills with stuff. There just isn't room for everything.

I suppose that would make sense since they are probably pretty small. However, if I were trying to create a "japanese room" I don't think that is the part I would want to recreate. LOL
