Tradition meets modernity in an ancient land. Fans of Japanese culture and aesthetics will revel in this inspirational book packed cover-to-cover with full page color photos of a wide range of homes and buildings across the islands of Japan, from traditional tatami to modern minimal. Beginning with a section on exteriors, replete with tranquil zen gardens, the book segues into interiors and ends with photos of details, giving readers a wellspring of ideas and the distinct sense that they have been briefly transported to the Land of the Rising Sun. Asian styles gave birth to the "Arts & Crafts" movement which morphed into the "Art Deco" movement. The ultimate back-to-nature housing & design with lots of antique and organic wooden furniture and housing.
