(★)(´IN-0091´es mismo libro.／ Traditional Japanese architecture emphasizes economy of design and an unsurpassed sensitivity to the natural environment. And a traditional Japanese home --with its freshly woven ´tatami´ mats, sliding ´shoji´ screens, and exposed wooden beams-- is the height of this art form.／ ´The Japanese House´ reveals this unique aesthetic through stunning photographs and insightful descriptions of fifteen of the most evocative homes in Japan. Enter ´The Japanese House´ and discover the simple proportions based on the square of the tatami mat ; the fluid floor plan created by movable screens ; the rich textures from the combination of indigenous woods, straws, and paper ; and the use of nature itself to enhance the home. Whether at a traditional inn, an imperial villa, or a garden pavilion, ´The Japanese House´ captures the essence of architectural elegance.／ ◆Noboru Murata is one of Japan´s most accomplished interiors photographers. He regularly travels around the country from his base in Tokyo on commissions for Japanese Elle Deco and other leading lifestyle magazines.／ Alexandra Black spent five years in Japan studying Japanese language and culture, in particular the arts and architecture. She has written for numerous publications and is the author of ´Living in Cuba´.／ ▼CONTENTS／ ●The Japanese Aesthetic ●1.The Teahouse ●2.The Townhouse ●3.Mountain Refuge ●4.Kyoto Machiya ●5.The Country House ●6.The Traditional Inn ●7.Samurai Residence ●8.Thatched Minka ●9.Farmhouse Reconstruction ●10.Imperial Villa ●11.Hakone Retreat ●12.Tokyo Conversion ●Japanese Modern) |
