Description
Japanese homes offer a contemplative environment from which to experience the world. This book presents twenty exquisite traditional Japanese homes, showcasing how natural elements can achieve timeless tranquility in design. The use of wood as a building material is significant in Japan, where it's considered a "living" material. The country's Shinto and Zen Buddhist roots have fostered a deep respect for nature. The wabi-sabi ideal, which values rusticity and simplicity, is central to Japanese interior design. This book invites you to rethink your approach to home design, exploring alternatives that can be applied anywhere in the world. Inspiring and surprising examples of traditional Japanese homes are featured, including a 100-year-old minka farmhouse, an old merchant's townhouse in Kyoto, and a modern seaside cottage. By examining these designs, architects and homeowners can gain insights into creating more thoughtful and sustainable living spaces.
