Minimalist living in Japan

TOKYO, JAPAN - JUNE 29 : Minimalist Saeko Kubishiki organizes her clothes in a small laundry room in her apartment in Fujisawa, Kanagawa Prefecture in the southern of Tokyo, Japan, on June 29, 2016. Saeko Kubishiki decided to live less cluttered with useless personal and domestic possessions in the wake of the big earthquake of Tohoku in northern of Japan on 11th of March 2011, as she was terrified to be crush and injured at home. This philosophy 'Minimalism' has become famous in recent years in Japan especially between young people who want nothing to do with acquiring material possessions, but would rather spend their money, time, and effort on things that they truly enjoy. Minimalism is a different style that uses pared-down design elements. Minimalism in the arts began in postWorld War II Western art, most strongly with American visual arts in the 1960s and early 1970s. (Photo by David Mareuil/Anadolu Agency/Getty Images)
