Japanese Country Style: Putting New Life into Old Houses
Donald Richie, The Japan Times "[Takishita's] work is not only interesting and stimulating -- it is inspiring." Product Review "[Takishita's] work is not only interesting and stimulating-it is inspiring." -Donald Richie, The Japan Times "Yoshihiro Takishita sees [Japanese firm houses] as a uniquely pure form of Japanese building because they were created during the era when the country had closed itself off from the rest of the world." -The Washington Post "showcases the artful blending of traditional Japanese elements for modern living." -Associated Press Reader Reviews Enjoyable reading. The author lovingly describes how he relocated and remodeled a selection of traditional Japanese farm houses that otherwise would have been destroyed. The descriptions of each house includes anectodal notes as well as beautiful photos of the houses interiors & exteriors. Thank goodness there are people who are interested in preserving a nation's cultural heritage. Comment | | (Report this)
