The illustration depicts two typical offices in Japan and the US.
Overall, Japanese offices mainly comprise sitting areas for various types of staff members, including employees, managers, and head managers responsible for a particular department. However, American offices are more neatly separated, being divided into many individual rooms with their own designated purposes.
A typical office in Japan houses 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 for themselves alongside a chair in the upper middle section of the office, which is right next to the window.
American offices are the complete opposite of that, as they consist of a large subset of 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’s being 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, whilst workers do their jobs in the center. Windows are carefully placed on the western and eastern sides of the office, which can be found in the conference room, storage, and rooms of individuals of the highest authority.
