FUTURE DESIGN CENTER. At this time our nation is facing a variety of problems, such as environmental and resource problems, food supply problems, health care problems and education problems. In becoming the second largest economy in the world Japan has developed a society of abundance and stability, but has also become one of the first in the world to confront these problems. These are not just national issues for Japan; these are concerns that are shared throughout the world, and will soon be confronting our Asian neighbors, such as India and China as these economies advance.
