Japan applies design to infrastructure, heritage, and work. 🇯🇵 Customized manhole covers treat public infrastructure as civic art, while 400-year-old bonsai are preserved as living cultural property across generations. The same design ethic appears in ordinary spaces as well as historic ones. That approach also reaches social policy. Remote-controlled robots are used to help people with limited mobility work, earn income, and participate more fully in daily economic life. #Japan #Design #PublicInfrastructure #Bonsai #Robotics
