Simplicity isn?t just a matter of taste in Japan?it's a part of the culture. But within that aesthetic there's a lot of room for diversity.

Yet in every corner is a wonderful surprise: a whimsical chair, a rock garden set into the floor, an Art Deco flourish in the bathroom, a rustic bamboo ladder propped on one wall. Gleaming high-tech lives in congenial harmony with old and traditional, and gentle hues are punctuated by bright spots of color. Photographed in full color and from vantage points that accentuate the seamless transitions between them, these dwellings exude a nourishing calm that belies the city's frenetic energy.
