Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Japanese Interior Upon my arrival in Tokyo in J une, 1888, I found myself greeted by J apanese friends, known long and intimately in America, but from whom I had been separated for years. Their friendship had, however, stood well the strain of the long separation both by time and space. In all that great city I had no acquaintance of my own race and language, but my J apanese friends so cared for me and surrounded me by their kind ness, that instead of missing the society of my own people, I found its absence a posi tive advantage, in that it threw me entirely upon congenial and interesting Japanese friends for that social intercourse necessary for all civilized beings.

Book excerpt: Japanese interiors focus primarily on one simple philosophy, Zen. All the rooms in a traditionally furnished Japanese home strive to achieve a balance of peace and simplicity; their interiors are steeped in centuries of cultural influence, and a sense of calm is key to the whole aesthetic. This handbook shows how to create a tailor-made Japanese home. Working through the house one room at a time, it highlights classic items of furniture and signature accessories, from tatami mats and paper lanterns to shoji (dividing screens). In-depth case studies demonstrate the essential elements and provide inspiration, while colour combinations are explored to help personalize this iconic style for the home. Anyone who hankers after the Japanese look and is eager to bring it to their own home will find this book a valuable resource.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Ten Days' Trip Into the Interior of Japan It was a hot, steamy evening in the middle of our Japan summer. In the company of a friend, I was discussing, in a lazy, listless sort of way, as we lay stretched at full length in the cool verandah of our comfortable bungalow at Yokohama, the current "gup" of the place, the badness of trade, the non-appearance of the French mail steamer "Volga," now nearly six days overdue, and the latest piece of scandal. "By Jove! how jolly and cool it must be on the top of Fuji this sort of weather. No mosquitoes there," I said, bringing down my hand with a ferocious slap upon my devoted head, with the intent of slaying two of the monsters, that were at that instant drinking deep of my heart's best blood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn the elements of the timeless beauty that is Japanese design in this concise reference volume. Japanese design is known throughout the world for its beauty, its simplicity, and its blending of traditional and contemporary effects. This succinct guide describes the influence and importance of 65 key elements that make up Japanese design, detailing their origins--and their impact on fields ranging from architecture and interior design to consumer products and high fashion. Learn, for example, how the wabi sabi style that's so popular today developed from the lifestyle choices made by monks a thousand years ago. And how unexpected influences--like tatami (straw mats) or seijaku (silence)--have contributed to contemporary Japanese design. Elements of Japanese Design offers new insights into the historical and cultural developments at the root of this now international aesthetic movement. From wa (harmony) to kaizen (continuous improvement), from mushin (the empty mind) to mujo (incompleteness), you'll discover how these elements have combined and evolved into a powerful design paradigm that has changed the way the world looks, thinks and acts. Chapters include: Washi, Paper with Character Ikebana, Growing Flowers in a Vase Bukkyo, The Impact of Buddhism Shibui, Eliminating the Unessential Kawaii, The Incredibly "Cute" Syndrome Katana, Swords with Spirit

Book excerpt: The traditional Japanese house is universally admired for its clean lines, intricate joinery, and unparalleled woodworking. The authors of this elegant volume, Peggy Landers Rao and Len Brackett, show how a classic Japanese- style house can be built to offer the warmth and comfort that modern homeowners require. Len Brackett, rigorously trained in traditional architecture in Kyoto, has spent decades adapting the ancient Japanese design aesthetic to Western needs. He builds traditional live-on-the-floor houses, as well as versions that accommodate furniture. Both types provide the essential features expected in today's new homes - central heating, insulation, weather stripping, thermal glazing, streamlined kitchens, computerized lighting systems, and the latest electronics. The book's primary focus is on a single guesthouse in California, but pictures of other adaptations of the traditional Japanese house in America exemplify various points. Architects will find reference charts of the prescribed set of proportions and dimensions normally passed down through a strict system of apprenticeship. anticipating shrinkage of various woods. A remarkable tool used to lay out precise joints is described in detail. Various sources are given for materials, including where to find a contemporary version of the distinctive, traditional earthen plaster.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Etta Jones was not a World War II soldier or a war time spy. She was a school teacher whose life changed forever on that Sunday morning in June 1942 when the Japanese military invaded Attu Island and Etta became a prisoner of war. Etta and her sister moved to the Territory of Alaska in 1922. She planned to stay only one year as a vacation, but this 40 something year old nurse from back east met Foster Jones and fell in love. They married and for nearly twenty years they lived, worked and taught in remote Athabascan, Alutiiq, Yup’ik and Aleut villages where they were the only outsiders. Their last assignment was Attu. After the invasion, Etta became a prisoner of war and spent 39 months in Japanese POW sites located in Yokohama and Totsuka. She was the first female Caucasian taken prisoner by a foreign enemy on the North American Continent since the War of 1812, and she was the first American female released by the Japanese at the end of World War II. Using descriptive letters that she penned herself, her unpublished manuscript, historical documents and personal interviews with key people who were involved with events as they happened, her extraordinary story is told for the first time in this book.

This book was released on 2022-04-05 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Midcentury modernism meets Japanese design in three revolutionary American buildings--the products of a unique, sustained, cross-cultural collaboration In 1953, Japanese architect Junzo Yoshimura designed a now-classic Japanese house and garden that he called Shofuso. It was built in Nagoya, Japan, and shipped to New York in 1954, where it was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art and then relocated to Philadelphia's Fairmount Park. The curators of MoMA's House in the Garden exhibition highlighted its synthesis of historic Japanese architecture with modern architecture: the clarity of the house's post and beam structure, its flexibility of use and the close relationship of indoor and outdoor spaces. This extensively illustrated volume centers on Yoshimura's design for Shofuso and two allied sites located in New Hope, Bucks County, Pennsylvania: Raymond Farm (1939-41), a live-work residence built by Antonin and Noémi Raymond within the fabric of an existing 18th-century Quaker farmhouse; and Nakashima Studios, a complex of structures designed by George Nakashima over three decades (1947-77) to serve his furniture-making business and as his family's home. Each site, in its own way, is the embodiment of the personal relationships and cross-cultural collaborations among this group of architects and designers. The Raymonds, along with Yoshimura, Nakashima and others, came to understand Japan's changing environment through the act of building, through collaboration and travel. Together, they extended these lessons into the furniture and furnishings of modern living in both Japan and the United States. This volume documents an exhibition of objects and ephemera mounted at Shofuso. New York-based architectural photographer Elizabeth Felicella captures each site in a portfolio of newly commissioned images. Essays by Ken Tadashi Oshima and William Whitaker, illustrated with historical photographs, family snapshots and architectural drawings, further elucidate this important chapter in the history of modern architecture and design.

The arts and especially the crafts were devel oped to a marked degree. Such pastimes as poetry writing, the tea ceremony, and ﬂower arrangement, filled many of the hours of the leisure classes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selected Relics of Japanese Art, Vol. 2 The picture here reproduced is from the wall-painting of the se. Corner of the Kort-do (the Golden Hall). The subject is Cakra-varti Cinta-mani Avalokitesvara (see notes under the Avalokitesvaras of To-ii and ro-san-jl, Vol. I: he is called in japan, Nio-i-rin and is said to have been painted by Don-ché, a Corean priest, who was renowned as being versed in Buddhism and Confucianism, but especially for his skill in coloured paintingg. He together with a priest called Ho'iio was sent by the king of Corea to the Japanese court during the reign of sui-ito (610 and arrived in Nara. Just as the monastery of Hé-riu-ii was being completed, and before interior decorations and furnishings 'were in place. This was the time and occasion for him to exhibit his powers, and his magnificent paintings may still be seen on the walls of the Kori-do. These paintings seem to have-greatly attracted the attention of foreigners. Dr: Anderson, 'f0r instance, says that they are in their design and colouring mudh like the productions of ancient Itarian artists and that they are far superior to those of later artists. He has not only supplied the model of sacred pictures for the Kasuga school by these wall-paintings but also taught us how to manufacture paper and ink and how to use the mill stone. We are much indebted to him in both sacred and secular matters. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
