Like most American kitchens, Japanese kitchens traditionally center around the stove in the room. The only difference was that instead of the stoves that we are used to in America, the people in Japan cooked their food over a Kamado, which is essentially a stove made of clay and the earth. In America we assume bigger is better, but in Japan space is not always an option. They are designed to occupy as minimal space as possible. In Japan the land is expensive and normally the plots are too small so multipurpose rooms have become very popular. So it is easy to say that Japanese kitchens do not follow the Modern design. Kitchens in Japan are very dominated by the color brown, and the use of wood materials. They use wood for cupboards, tables, chairs and they even take the wood and make beautiful wood carvings sometimes.
There are many different types of dining room/kitchen furniture that they use in Japan, and the following website shows beautiful examples of them.
