The houses and apartments in this book have not been styled for the camera. They range from small Tokyo apartments dense with personal collections to Kyoto timber townhouses shaped by long-standing building traditions, and from combined live\/work studios to family homes on the city's fringes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMunro's accompanying profiles explain how each household works within the limits of its space, and how daily routines and habits become design decisions in their own right. The result reads less as an interiors survey than as a record of how contemporary Japanese life is actually lived, room by room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAround 315 photographs of private homes not staged for publication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfiles of each resident written by Tokyo-based design journalist Kirsty Munro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHomes across Tokyo, Kyoto and the urban edge, from apartments to timber townhouses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe latest volume from the photographer behind Where They Create and Where They Purr\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Japanese creatives make the most of compact urban floor plans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe persistence of traditional Kyoto townhouse construction in contemporary living\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLive\/work arrangements that fold studio practice into the home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe everyday rituals and habits that shape furniture, storage and the use of space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaul Barbera is a photographer and director born in Australia and based in New York.
