KoenigRegardless if you want to have a Japanese Tea Room. a Japanese touch. or just like looking at great photographs of Interior Design. you should buy this book.I normally dont like books which take elements from one Style. in this case Japanese. and then adapt it for Western use. but here it works very well. thanks to superb and tasteful examples. The authors are also very up-front about it. as the sub-title which does not appear on the cover is "A Sourcebook of Japanese Style for the Western Home".In hundreds of excellent photographs we are shown in sections with such titles as: "Light and Space". "Traditional Furniture" and "Japanese Textiles" just how easy it is to give rooms and areas of your home a Japanese touch or feel. I personally like the Style very much because it is subdued. almost austere. yet elegant. and makes much use of natural materials. The book is full of really clever examples of what one can do with space. and the best part is. that for the most part it can be done without great expense. The list of sources of where to buy materials at the end of the book is unfortunately out of date. The copy of the book I have was published in 1990. but many sources should be readily available on the Internet.Along with the excellent book "Japanese Style" by Suzanne Slesin. et.al. (at the time of writing out of print). "Japan: The Art of Living" is all youll need to go Japanese. And lastly before I forget. the price is right.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
