This book presents a collection of beautiful interior designs of high-class "ethnic" restaurants but all of the restaurants are in various parts of Japan and are done by Japanese designers. If you want a look into what Japanese designers are doing these days with the ethnic motif, then you are in for a treat.Much of the renditions on the "ethnic" theme would seem radically new to the Western eye. But if you are looking for hints about how to decorate your ethnic restaurant inexpensively, you will be disappointed. Not one of these interiors could have been done without the help of a designer earning a six-figure salary. Printed by a Japanese publisher, the text is in both English and Japanese. This book was a disappointment for me, not because it was poor in any way but because I live in Japan and was looking for some pictures of the truely ethnic so that I could make Japanese renditions out of them.As it happened, that rendition had already been made.
