4.0 out of 5 stars 13 Dream Houses, 17 Jan 2005

By	Ahmad H Saqfalhait - See all my reviews

The author along with the highly skilled photographer were able to capture the aesthetic of the traditional Japanese house architecture and interior, both old and new.

The photos are overwhelming, but with the text, you will get a better view on what you are seeing. The 13 houses presented here are of different nature, but all on the same level of beauty.

The book goes under the appreciative/ admiring type, even when it zooms on a certain detail or motif, you can't use it for actual implementation for your home, but might inspire you generally.

Nevertheless, it is a beautiful book and worth owning if you like the traditional Japanese style of architecture and interior.

5.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensive guide, 2 Nov 2004

By	J. Salisbury (UK) - See all my reviews

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!
