Living in Japan by Alex Kerr

Living in Japan by Alex Kerr

Japanese homes are refuges of tranquility, crafted in a unique domestic aesthetic of Eastern minimalism. Traditional architecture features alongside contemporary dwellings in this collection of homes, with many never-before-seen photographs. Turn to the rising sun and discover the fluid simplicity of these spaces where Zen philosophy breathes.

“The photos alone are enough to keep readers entranced for hours..” * Living & Homes *
“From a Zen priest’s thatched farmhouse to a bamboo home, this book is loaded with ideas on how to live tomorrow.” * Sunday Mail *
"The sort of interior spaces that wouldn't look out of place in the latest James Bond movie." * Grafik Magazine *
