Book excerpt: Although so much of the life we care about takes place at home, this private space often remains behind closed doors and is notoriously difficult for researchers to infiltrate. We may think it is just up to us to decorate, transform and construct our homes, but in this book we discover a new form of ‘estate agency', the active participation of the home and its material culture in the construction of our lives. What do the possessions people choose to take with them when moving say about who they are, and should we emphasize the mobility of a move or the stability of what movers take with them? How is the home an active partner in developing relationships? Why are our homes sometimes haunted by 'ghosts'?. This intriguing book is a rare behind-the-scenes exposé of the domestic sphere across a range of cultures. Examples come from working class housewives in Norway, a tribal society in Taiwan, a museum in London, tenants in Canada and students from Greece, to produce a genuinely comparative perspective based in every case on sustained fieldwork. So Japan, long thought to be a nation that idealizes uncluttered simplicity, is shown behind closed doors to harbour illicit pockets of disorganization, while the warmth inside Romanian apartments is used to expel the presence of the state. Representing a vital development in the study of material culture, this book clearly shows that we may think we possess our homes, but our homes are more likely to possess us.

Download or read book At Home with Japanese Design written by Jean Mahoney and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 1990 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This sparkling full-color tour of 49 homes in Japan & six states in the United States is an interior design book, shopping guide, & cultural history all in one. The authors concentrated on the homes of experts who are adept at creating East/West blends--men & women who have long-standing commitments to Japanese design. On one level this is a how-to book: how to spotlight collections, how to make a room more versatile. You will find, for example, that the popular Japanese chest can be made even more useful. On another level, this book is an introduction to the richness of the Japanese culture since the authors explain the historic roles of the objects the book focuses on. Their insights into the philosophic & aesthetic principles involved underline the consistency of Japanese style in many different fields from traditional architecture to flower arrangement. A special chapter focuses on four homes where the Japanese influence is not just an accent, but an all-inclusive design theme within a Western lifestyle. The book also enlarges shopping opportunities for the traveler, since it indicates sources for objects outside of Tokyo, in the United States & Canada.
