A JAPANESE TOUCH FOR YOUR HOME
The Japanese house offers bold and exciting ideas
for people thinking about remodeling their home or
redoing their apartment. This book describes the
basic elements of Japanese interior design and then
shows you how to use them. Install tatami mats
and shoji doors—quintessential elements of Jap-
anese interior design—and see how beautifully
they respond to the American home. Change the
size and shape of a room, easily and tastefully, with
bamboo screens and movable partitions. Build a
simple Japanese-style alcove, decorate it with
something special, and then flaunt it. Try some
Japanese lighting techniques—low, soft, and beau-
tiful. Change the mood of a room, change your
way of looking at things.
There's much more in this book. Practical, ap-
proachable, and authentic, it is written by a young
Japanese architect concerned about the demands of
contemporary life-styles and the answers that tradi-
tional Japanese design has to offer.
Over 120 color plates taken by a leading Jap-
anese photographer accompany the informed text.
In addition, over 200 black and white sketches,
floor plans, a section on do-it-yourself projects,
and a list of organizations in the U.S. one may con-
sult make this a book that will pique your desire to
be creative and then show you how to fulfill it. A
practical guide for homeowners, for interior
designers, for people who like to work with their
heads and their hands, this book may be the begin-
ning of a new way of living for you.
