'Mirai Kanketsu-shugi' (未来簡潔主義), or "Future Minimalism," aptly encapsulates the essence of Retrofuturistic Minimalism within a Japanese context. Drawing parallels with traditional Japanese aesthetics such as 'Ma' (間) - emphasizing negative space and simplicity - and 'Wabi-Sabi' - finding beauty in imperfection and transience - this style resonates deeply with the Japanese artistic heritage. The sleek lines and geometric forms of Mirai Kanketsu-shugi align with the clean and functional aspects of 'Zen' design, while its futuristic elements echo the imaginative and often whimsical nature found in contemporary Japanese pop culture and media, such as anime and manga. This fusion not only reflects a blend of eras but also a synthesis of deeply ingrained Japanese artistic principles with a modern, forward-looking vision.
In this Gallery, I and others explore this style in various lighting styles and with various subjects.
As always, I hope you enjoy the images:
