Japanese Interiors, published by Phaidon, takes you on a delightful journey all around Japan. Authored by Mihoko Iida and Danielle Demetriou, the book explores nearly thirty homes, all located across this magical country. There are urban homes, mountain and seaside residences, minimalist apartments and more traditional, historic homes. The stunningly beautiful color photographs and insightful texts not only provide inspiration but are also soothing to look at and admire.
Exploring the art and craft of Japanese residential interiors, author Mihoko Iida provides an insider's look into the wide-ranging interior design of her country's private homes. Featuring twenty-eight exemplary residences around Japan – from urban apartments to mountain and seaside escapes – the book showcases aspirational minimalist homes alongside functional live/work spaces and traditional historic dwellings.
Throughout, Iida demonstrates the enduring philosophy of integrating the natural landscape into the home, and details the influences and continuing evolution of Japanese interior design. The book also showcases homes designed by some of Japan's top architects, such as Kengo Kuma, nendo, Koji Fujii, Arata Endo, and Takamitsu Azuma.
