WA: The Essence of Japanese Design

Great book, arrived in perfect condition and shrink wrapped

Livro bem diagramado, bonito e bastante útil.

Bought as a present for a friend who loved it

Très beau livre, texture du papier séduisante, explique bien et joliment l'essence de l'art japonais. Bravo, à recommander pour les amoureux de l'art japonais

I saw this book at the Tsutaya bookstore in Tokyo. It's a beautifully illustrated book with cool looking binding and paper choice. Nice pictures with good discussion on Japanese design. Got it for my wife and she loves it. A real conversation piece based on the appearance, binding, and paper quality alone.
