In this book, the author spent more than 4 years visiting hundreds of Japanese homes and learning as much as possible about their construction, design, furnishings, and relative merits. It is the only authentic record of the traditional Japanese home (mats, lamps, screens, gardens, etc.), from its general plan to the smallest decorative detail. -- Publisher description.
