Japanese Color Scheme

[danthecuber]

With Dayan cubes it is really easy too change the color schemes, just switch the pieces.

NIce bump :tu

I broke my first rubiks cube and bought a diy. i found my dads old rubiks cube from when he was a kid in the 80's and it had the jap scheme (and faded red stickers so like 2 orange sides). even though the cube was pretty bad i did improve about 5 seconds on my time. it actually took me a while to realize the japanese scheme.

Well of course sillies, Japan. Is. AWESOME!

Wow, I thought I was the only one who really liked the Japanese colour scheme after I switched to it. I used to not be able to slot to the back without checking colours, but now I can. I have no idea why. I use yellow cross, so green is on top (Or left if I'm doing F2L (COR)), don't know if that makes a difference.

That's because the "Japanese color scheme" was actually the original color scheme for the cube.
The international color scheme (the BOY or American colors) is the newer one.

and some rubiks 2x2 still have it

Ya, I just put this on my lunhui, and I like it, although it's extremely awkward right now. Since I do advanced cross, I should know the color scheme, but it's still odd for me.

Then why is the "Original" color scheme called the "Japanese" color scheme? If the original Rubik's came out in Hungary, then shouldn't it be called the "Hungarian" color scheme?

It's just called that because for whatever reason it became standard for many Japanese cubers, but most of the rest of the world uses the BOY scheme.

You just brought something back that had been dead for 4 hours.
