8. Dry Walls

Traditional Japanese homes often have walls of paper and sliding doors. Therefore, it is impossible to hang anything without totally damaging the wall. In modern life, some many houses and apartments use drywall, so people can practically hang the artwork if they want to. Nevertheless, because it is a tradition to keep the walls plain, you can easily see this when you come to a Japanese home. Look at the picture above; these simple walls attract your attention to items such as the teapot and the cherry blossom bonsai tree. In this way, it provides a feeling that artwork is truly unnecessary.
