With the development of science and technology, a series of creative techniques have been proposed in Japan since 1930s. By illustrating some specific creative techniques in Japan, this paper analyzes the regional characteristics of creative techniques in Japan, namely, integration, reformism, locality, operability, specialization and simplicity. A combination of such local knowledge theories as post-colonial scientific views, philosophy of scientific practice and cultural anthropology contributes to an analysis of the regional characteristics of creative techniques in Japan which reflect the local knowledge and methods. The findings suggest that creative techniques with unique Chinese characteristics should be incubated in the Chinese local culture; hereby, the Chinese local culture deserves to be valued.
