4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful inspiration, February 7, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: A Japanese Touch for Your Home (Paperback)

80 pages, 121 beautiful color photos, some black & white photos plus four do-it-yourself projects. An excellent reference for design ideas. Covers basic elements of Japanese design to include entryway, veranda, interior space, tatami and shoji. The pictures alone make this a good sourcebook.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT !, August 25, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: A Japanese Touch for Your Home (Paperback)

I and many friends have enjoyed this book-not only because it has excellent photos of examples on how to give your home or apt a touch of Japanese tranquility/simplicity but also because it gives you exact details on how to build or create the area. Even if you're not interested in making changes in your home it's the kind of book that can transpose you to a more tranquil space via the excellent photos and drawings

5.0 out of 5 stars A New Hunger., December 16, 2002

Scott Knudsen (Air Ronge, Saskatchewan Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: A Japanese Touch for Your Home (Paperback)

This book has created a new hunger in me to find and devour every book I can get my hands on dealing with Japanese architecture. I can now see where Frank Lloyd Wright got a lot of his inspiration from. This is the first book I have read on the subject so far, and it seems to cover a bit of everything with lots of nice photos. If your looking for a book on organizing and storing stuff like only the Japanese can do, then get "Small Spaces: Stylish Ideas for Making More of Less in the Home" by Azby Brown
