DESCRIPTION:

In The Japanese House, renowned Japanese photographer Noboru Murata has captured this Eastern spirit with hundreds of vivid color photographs of 15 Japanese homes. 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. This is a glorious house-tour readers can return to again and again, for ideas, inspiration, or simply admiration.. 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

"Fifteen Japanese homes, complete with shoji screens and tatami mats, in 224 color photos."—Associated Press

Pass on this one I was looking for a Japanese architectural reference book and decided, after shifting online through several books, to try this one. I found it to be totally lacking, the pictures aren't well lit or well taken in general, there are lots of artsy cropped close-ups of flowers, shoes and so on? What the book implies is not there, no stunning or even interesting architecture to speak of. This is the first architecture book I've ever bought that just didn't have good shots of buildings, construction details and rooms. A bit amateurish. I've looked it over several times now and boring is about the best thing I can say, useless is the most truthful. "Fantastic look at Japanese homes and buildings" according to Joe Marino. If you ever have visited Japan or fell in love with its architecture via movies or television, you owe it to yourself to get this book.We plan on building our next home and wanted to go in a modern/Japanese look. There are many resources out there for modern homes but very few done as well as this book for Japanese homes. The subtle details and construction techniques presented in here are vital for a designer to see as they develop a design.The photographs are very endearing and present the Japanese home in such a way as to make this book more than just a guide. It also makes for a great coffee table book.If you are into architecture of any. Architects Take Notice GB Excellent reading. Beautiful photos.Enjoyed it cover to cover
