The Inner Harmony of the Japanese HouseThe Inner Harmony of the Japanese House unravels the many concealed concepts at work in the Japanese living space bringing compelling insights and a long-needed clarity to the fundamentals of Japanese design.Breaking down the living space into its primary elements; shoji, partitions, pillars, zen garden and more, the author reveals the underlying patterns and hidden harmony that took centuries to evolve. The book discusses the ways in which shoji exploit the natural light to create a subdued radiance; the way decorated sliding doors and moveable partitions define one’s sense of living space; and the function of a miniature garden as viewed from inside the house as well as out.
