The illustration depicts two types of typical offices in Japan and the US.
Overall, Japanese offices mainly include sitting areas for different types of staff members, such as employees, managers, and head managers responsible for a particular department. However, American offices are more separated into many individual rooms.
A typical office in Japan includes several large tables surrounded by chairs for both workers and section managers, these are usually located at the bottom left and right corners. Department directors, on the other hand, have a more compact, separate table along with a chair in the upper middle section of the office, which is right next to the window.
American offices are the complete opposite tothat of Japanese, as they consist of a large smaller rooms, each serving its own purpose. People who work in higher-level positions, such as section managers or a department manager receive their personal rooms, with the latter having double the size of the former. There are also two conference rooms adjacent to one another for group meetings as well as a copy room and storage on the farthest end of the office, while workers do their jobs in the center. Windows are carefully placed on the western and eastern sides of the office, which is located near the conference room, storage, and rooms of individuals of the highest authority.
