Book Reviews of The Japanese House: Architecture and Interiors

Book Review: A comprehensive guide
Summary: 5 Stars

I've actually got the French translation of this book ... but it's been a terrific addition to my library.

The variety of photographs is stunning. Included are details of construction, interiors and Zen-type images of "geta in the snow" (and others!). The text is thorough yet easy to read, but I don't read it much! I spend all my time pouring over the photos and wishing I could build a Japanese-style house! In the UK? No chance!
