Description: This book offers a thorough examination of Japanese style.

Review Quotes: "Images are carefully chosen and beautifully juxtaposed."--IDFX

"This poetic book analyses complexities of Japanese style. Instead of straightforward case studies on well-known examples, it tackles underlying aspects of culture with references to Buddhism, mythology, Zen philosophy, architecture and the visual arts. Beautifully illustrated, and far more than just Ando, tea ceremonies and Noh theatre."--Building Design
