30 inspiring Japanese web designs

Japanese web design is little known among web designers in the Western part of the world, and it’s quite different in many ways. For example, Japanese designs tend to be colorful and animated, both in expression and features — it’s very common to find a mascot for virtually everything in Japan, from products to Government departments. Japanese web designs also tend to use Flash in a larger extent than Western counterparts, and the use of pastel colors is adopted by a wide variety of Japanese designers. We’ve gathered a collection of 30 inspiring — and colorful — Japanese web designs. Enjoy!
