Much admired for its purity of form and its harmony with the natural environment, the Japanese house is one of the classic forms of residential architecture. THE JAPANESE HOUSE reveals the unique style of domestic architecture and interior aesthetics that is native to Japan: the beautifully simple proportions based on the measure of the tatami mat; the fluid floor plan with its movable screens to divide and expand space; the indigenous materials of wood, paper and straw; the use of ceramics, textiles and nature itself to enhance the home environment. These elements and more are explored through thirteen of the most inspiring houses in Japan.
