I read Lee o-young's"The compact culture".

I read "The compact culture". This book was written by South Korean professor Lee o-young.

This writer said Japanese culture is compact oriented.

For example, ancient time Japan import fan from China or Korea. And ancient Japanese people invent folding fan. That fan was compact. Then that was convinient for carrying.

From traditional Japanese culture, such as Japanese flower arrangement, Japanese traditional garden to modern Japanese technology like transistor radio, robot, these thing are compact oriented.

This book is very interesting Japanolgy book for me. If you like Japan or Japanese culture, please read. I read Japanese edition book, but unfortunately English edition book is out of print.
