The design of household items acts as a mirror that reflects our lifestyle. This exhibition introduces 90 designs for household items that were produced during the 1990s, and 13 others, in which we see the roots of contemporary design, from the postwar Japan of the 1950s.

This exhibition presents contemporary Japanese design through a selection of approximately 100 everyday products. Unlike architecture, the furnishings and equipment used in everyday life can be gathered together in one place to make an exhibition. One purpose of a tour of a city, whether conscious or not, is to look at the design of the products in use in its everyday life, including furniture, clothing, tableware, and electrical appliances, so the experience of looking at this exhibition is similar to the experience of touring. The design of the objects on display here, a summary of life in present-day Japan, gives a substantial insight into Japanese urban culture today.

Japanese Design Today 100 is a Japan Foundation touring exhibition. In cooperation with the Embassy of Japan.
