New Ideas For Contemporary Living.
Japan has always intrigued the world with its deceptively simple blending of architecture, landscape and design. Zen temples, the famous tea ceremony, formal gardens, the use of wood, paper and other materials in the form of screens and floors - all have evolved over the years to create a varied, yet indisputably unique, style.
This book showcases 40 contemporary homes, many never photographed before, and explores that style in all its manifestations. Divided into four chapters - Reworking Tradition, Managing Space, Experimenting with materials, Personal Statements - each home is representative in its own way of the changing face of Japanese interior design and architecture.
