Japanese Style
San Francisco: Chronicle Books, 1989. Gilles De Chabaneix (photographer). first edition. hardcover. 8vo unpaginated. from Introduction: "During the last decade American and English designers have embraced the Japanese esthetic with gusto, but the style of Japanese life has often eluded Westerners. To comprehend the Japanese mind one must understand that privacy is held sacrosanct. The Japanese interior reflects this reverence for solitude; the home is a retreat from the public sphere and is imbued with the personality of its occupant. The daily homecoming from school or work is a celebratory event marking the return to a sense of calm centeredness."
