Nature on View: Homes and Gardens Inspired by Japan
by Peggy Landers Rao, Jean Mahoney
Category: House & Home

Features 28 American homes and gardens in various urban and rural settings that show how Japanese principles of design can be incorporated into both new construction and remodel projects. Some 180 photos document fine craftsmanship, decorative use of structural elements, and, above all, the integration of indoors and outdoors. The text describes the origins of the structures and their features. Resources for inspiration and Japanese goods and design services are listed. No index or bibliography.
