A Sourcebook of Japanese Style for the Western Home.
The art of living, as enjoyed in Japan today, is refined by crosscurrents from both East and West. Seemingly incompatible influences have evolved a new style of modern living. This style is seen in whimsical table settings, in flower arrangements that not only enhance a room but also define a season, in interiors that use unexpected Japanese and Western combinations to reveal a sophisticated East-West sensibility.
In more than three hundred beautiful photographs of the homes of both Westerners and Japanese, this book presents the art of living with Japanese style, offering exciting new ideas and inspiration for all. It is a photographic tour of exquisite homes in the Tokyo area, focusing on original and attractive uses of Japanese antiques and folk crafts. Also included is the latest information on antique markets and hints for where to see the art of living - in galleries, textile and craft shops, and restaurants.
