Exploring the art and craft of Japanese residential interiors, author Mihoko Iida provides an insider's look into the wide-ranging interior design of her country's private homes. Japanese Interiors features twenty-eight exemplary residences around Japan – from urban apartments to mountain and seaside escapes – the book showcases aspirational minimalist homes alongside functional live/work spaces and traditional historic dwellings.

Jason T. ★★★★★

The photography alone makes this worth it, but the floor plans and material notes next to each room really teach you how these spaces are put together. I've read a lot of design books that are just pretty pictures, and this one actually explains the thinking behind the architecture.

Julian ★★★★★

I was pleasantly surprised by how much depth the author provides—Mihoko Iida’s insider look into actual private homes feels more authentic than the usual glossy architecture books.
