Title: many great illustrations & ideas
Product review: This is a wonderful book for anyone wanting to decorate their home or yard in the Japanese style. It is packed with 1,800 black & white illustrations of Japanese architectural elements.The book starts out by describing the design elements of a traditional Japanese home. It is then divided into sections including screens, fusuma sliding panels, windows, doors, transoms, ceilings, tokonoma, & shelves.Outdoor elements such as fences, railings, verandas, & stone-paths are also covered. Decorative patterns including family crests, woven & lattice designs are shown along with fusuma paper designs.Being able to see so many design ideas a once has really been a big help in planning my new home. Everything is so beautiful. I especially like the transoms with images of nature such as cranes, fish & flowers.
