I found the awesome exihibition about Japanes design of household products, hope this is helpful for you.

 

"This exhibition of over 75 objects showcases the finest Japanese design of household products from the 1950s to the present-day. These selected modern designs provide a glimpse into the hopes and dreams of the people who used the products, as well as the designers and corporations who created them. This exhibition illustrates the trends and features of Japanese design at specific time periods, allowing a unique perspective into today’s Japanese design culture."
