Wabi-sabi的特点是形式温和，注重形式和功能。今天，你在日本看到的许多标志给人一种现代主义的印象，主要强调功能和可读性。Helvetica在东京和20世纪60年代瑞士的国际排版风格一样普遍。这种看似直观的日本人对功能简单性的感觉甚至在本田著名的Asimo机器人上表现得很明显，它光滑流畅的外观配得上下一代苹果产品。那么，为什么一个沉浸在美丽、功能简单性的国家里的网站却人满为患，几乎无法阅读，似乎无视现代设计惯例，更不用说融入一丝wabi-sabi了？自2000年代中期的Web2.0以来，全球的界面设计已经朝着更简单但更实用的方式发展，导致最近人们更喜欢平面设计而不是装饰性设计(例如，想想按钮是如何从3D斜面外观转变为更2D样式的)。然而，尽管它长期热爱笔记本电脑和智能手机，而且拥有世界上最快的网速，但不知何故，wabi-sabi的稀疏简单性似乎并没有转化为网络。不知怎么的，21世纪界面设计的现实并没有流行起来。(顺便说一句，日本是一个传真机仍然很常见的国家，这让许多移民感到惊讶。)作为一名居住在东京的设计研究员，我试图理解为什么会这样。一种创新和创造的文化--在这种文化中，历史悠久的wabi-sabi美学似乎已经渗透到甚至机器人设计中--怎么会有这么多看起来像是没有更多更新的网站？
and wabi-sabi share traits of modest forms and an emphasis on form after function. Today many of the signs you see in Japan give a modernist impression with an emphasis primarily on function and readability. Helvetica is as pervasive in Tokyo as it is in the International Typographic Style of 1960s Switzerland. This seemingly intuitive Japanese sense of functional simplicity is even apparent in Honda’s famous Asimo robot, which has a sleek and smooth exterior worthy of the next Apple product.So why is it then that a country steeped in beautiful, functional simplicity has websites that are crowded and often almost impossible to read, that seem to ignore modern design conventions, much less incorporate even a trace of wabi-sabi? Since Web 2.0 in the mid-2000s, interface design globally has moved toward a more simple but functional approach, resulting in the recent preference for flat design over ornamentation (eg, consider how buttons have gone from a 3D beveled appearance to a more 2D style). Yet despite its long-term love of laptops and smartphones and some of the best Internet speeds in the world, somehow the sparse simplicity of wabi-sabi does not seem to have translated to the Web. Somehow the realities of 21st-century interface design have not caught on.(Japan is, incidentally—much to the surprise of many immigrants—a country where fax machines remain common.) As a design researcher living in Tokyo, I am trying to understand why this is the case. How can an innovative and creative culture—where timehonored wabi-sabi aesthetics seem to have permeated even robot design—have so many websites that look like they have not been updated in more
