mehsi's review against another edition
5.0
A gorgeous book about Japanese homes/styles and I just loved it. However, I was not a fan of the modern buildings, man those were just ugly and devoid of personality. Some just looked liked some kid had fun with building blocks. But the old and classic homes, LOVE LOVE that. Those were just gorgeous and I wished many a time to just step inside the photograph and sit on those cushions, watch the garden, sit by the hearth, walk around the house and see all the little details. Loved seeing a ryoukan + hot springs. Loved that we also saw gardens. I guess I will just have to save tons of money so I can visit Japan. XD

Beaucoup de les mêmes photographe que "Japan style" mais à plus grande échelle. J'aime que il y a plus des renseignements sûr chaque endroit que dans l'autre livre aussi. Tellement beaux édifices. Pour l'inspiration (même que j'ai toujours des questions au rapport des gens qui vivre réellement dans ces endroits???)

Another architectural eye candy book. Some nice examples of older machiya. There is a recent reprint.
