Worlds Within: The Japanese Home
Trea Wiltshire
As their cities grew, the ever inward-looking Japanese retreated to world within worlds, transforming their homes into sanctuaries of retreat. Centuries of subjection to earthquakes, typhoons and fire obliged the Japanese to live lightly but exquisitely, with few but superbly crafted tansus (furnishings) often serving secondary functions. Folding screens and sliding rice-paper dooors encloused jewelled temples of the inner self.
