I adapted one of the interior design features found within a photograph of this excellent book. While sophisticated. urbane restaurants in Tokyo and Kyoto are featured. they vary from traditional to ultra-modern industrial in design. Floor diagrams are included. Because most of these restaurants have subdued lighting. the photographs share the same tone; but such lighting design emphasizes details of texture and shape as well as accessories. Indeed. the straight-line geometry of Japanese architecture helps provide a calming and peaceful environment. Because I am an artist and have been to Japan and Korea. I must admit that I am attracted to these places. If you are considering decorating or designing a home with an Asian motif. you may also find inspiration in these photographs.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. 3 starsBy Estrella BurkettGave it to my best friend who took interior designing. she said it helps alot.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. An Excellent BookBy Kentaro MoriI saw this book in the library one day. and decided to check it out. I ended up renewing it three times. and then coming here to purchase it. This book is an excellent source for ideas or just to browse through on a rainy day. I love looking at all the highly detailed pictures and the wonderful descriptions of the places photographed. This book is extremely well written and put together. A must have for anyone who is interested in interior design. or contemporary Japanese architectute.
