Minimalism or the practise of only owning things you need is spreading through Japan, and how. It’s cheaper, less anxiety-inducing and much safer if you live in a dangerously earthquake prone area.

Influenced by the spare aesthetic of Japan’s traditional Zen Buddhism, these minimalists buck the norm in a fervently consumerist society by dramatically paring down their possessions. Influenced by them, Quint Lens brings to you, a carefully curated Reuters photo feature from inside the simple and classic homes of these minimalists.
