The simple beauty of Japanese architecture and design has inspired many of the world's top architects and designers. The grace and elegance of the Japanese sensibility is reflected in both modern and traditional Japanese homes, from their fluid floor plans to their use of natural materials. In "The Japanese House," renowned Japanese photographer Noboru Murata has captured this Eastern spirit with hundreds of vivid color photographs of 15 Japanese homes. As we step behind the lens with Murata, we're witness to the unique Japanese aesthetic, to the simple proportions modeled after the square of the tatami mat; to refined, rustic decor; to earthy materials like wood, paper, straw, ceramics, and textiles. This is a glorious house-tour readers can return to again and again, for ideas, inspiration or simply admiration.

The Japanese house reveals the unique style of domestic architecture and interior aesthetics that is native to Japan: the beautifully simple porportions based on the measure of the tatami mat, the fluid floor plan with its movable screens to divide and expand space, and the use of ceramics, textiles and nature itself to enhance the home environment.
