The title of "A Japanese Touch for your home" is misleading. Don't expect a set of advice on how to add Japanese-style details to your home interior. Rather, this is a detailed guide of creating an authentic Japanese home, using the correct dimensions and materials. Starting from the use of shoji to how to built a room for the tea ceremony, from the entranceway to veranda - it's all there with pictures and plans. I am not sure if many people outside Japan would really go that far as to build a real Japanese house, but it is certainly an enlightening and interesting book, giving you a perspective of a culture and a way of life.
