What is the secret to good design/redesign of old traditional MINKA houses in Japan? Alex Kerr has been living in and renovating classic Japanese homes into guest houses for over 30 years. #japan #shorts #minka #design 
Alex's advice is that a sense of style comes from spending time in old houses to get a sense of how to design them well. I have spent time in Alex's guest house Chiori and seen some of his other houses, he has an exquisite sense of style and deep knowledge of how to best show off Minka.
