The Japanese House - Architecture And Interiors - Thryft

Evocative journey through Japanese architectural elegance.

If you have an interest in interior design or architecture and are enthralled by the tranquil, minimalist principles of Japanese aesthetics, "The Japanese House" could serve as a beautiful source of inspiration. Noboru Murata's photography offers a visual feast that captures the serene harmony of traditional and modern Japanese homes, making it a perfect coffee table book that you'll likely flip through time and again to soak in the understated yet profound beauty that is the cornerstone of Japanese design.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The simple beauty of Japanese architecture and design has inspired many of the world's top architects and designers, such as Bruno Taut, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Terence Conran, to name just a few. The grace and elegance of the Japanese sensibility is reflected in both modern and traditional Japanese homes, from their fluid floor plans to their use of natural materials. In The Japanese House , renowned Japanese photographer Noboru Murata has captured this Eastern spirit with hundreds of vivid color photographs of 15 Japanese homes. As we step behind the lens with Murata, we're witness to the unique Japanese aesthetic, to the simple proportions modeled after the square of the tatami mat; to refined, rustic decor; to earthy materials like wood, paper, straw, ceramics, and textiles. This is a glorious house-tour readers can return to again and again, for ideas, inspiration, or simply admiration.
