  Japan through 100 objects of Japanese design: 89 objects created since 20
 10 that can be seen in Japan today\, as well as 11 objects that represent 
 the origin of Japanese post-war modern product design.&nbsp\; These 100 pr
 oduct designs are displayed in 10 categories: Classic Japanese Design\, Fu
 rniture &amp\; Housewares\, Tableware &amp\; Cookware\, Apparel &amp\; Acc
 essories\, Children\, Stationery\, Hobbies\, Healthcare\, Disaster Relief\
 , and Transportation.\n\nDesignscape showcases popular designs as well as 
 what is known as high design.&nbsp\; Not all of them have the hard-edged\,
  clean lines typical of modern design\; many have more supple forms typica
 l of traditional crafts.&nbsp\; These differences reflect the tendency of 
 current Japanese design to focus on day-to-day life in Japan\, while repre
 senting the Japanese lifestyle\, history\, culture and tradition.\n\nThis 
 exhibition can be approached as a bird&rsquo\;s-eye view of Japanese desig
 n or it can be enjoyed in a more casual way as if taking a virtual trip to
  Japan.&nbsp\; It gives viewers a good idea of many aspects of contemporar
 y Japanese culture.\n\nSince 2004\, the previous version of this exhibitio
 n has been traveling around the world fascinating countless viewers in man
 y countries including Egypt\, India\, and Russia.&nbsp\; After a decade si
 nce its launch\, the Japan Foundation has updated the entire exhibition to
  reflect the changes in design. Los Angeles is the first port stop for Des
 ignscape as it embarks on another ten year journey around the world.
