Few places understand minimalism and the beauty of empty space quite like Japan. The website weird feelings captures something of that spirit. Its design is playful, slightly naïve, and filled with small details waiting to be noticed. Rather than presenting itself as a polished product, the page feels like a living personal space — a place where you want to read everything, and where you feel tempted to return later to see what might have quietly changed.

It also has that rare “I wish I had thought of that” aesthetic. The ideas are disarmingly simple, yet strangely captivating. To console myself, I have borrowed the weird feelings main page and placed it below this text. With a bit of luck, the genius behind it will allow me to keep it here like this — instead of forcing me to settle for a mere screenshot.

A dreamy, handmade homepage full of personality, small treasures, and early-web magic. It's very Japanese in its design, a bit like this article from 2013 points out.
