Zen. Soothing. Mystical. Meditative. All the most serene words in the world couldn't begin to describe the effect of Asia's most beautiful interiors. Whether it's a monastery in Tibet, a coffee plantation in Java, or a Tadao Ando-designed house in Japan, each interior chosen for this book is remarkable not only for its aesthetics but for its spirit. The book is "clothed" in a silk-like curry-colored fabric adorned with chrysanthemum flowers. These interiors have what it takes to transport you to a sacred place; breathe deeply, delve in, and be inspired. This work covers 51 locations in Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Hong Kong, China, and Japan. Its highlights include: holy temples and Buddhist monasteries; posh hotels and charming guest houses; Balinease bamboo architecture; Javanese coffee plantations; and, modern contemporary houses in Japan designed by Shigeru Ban, Kengo Kuma, and Tadao Ando.
