For those who want to understand Japanese domestic life on a d | Kyoto Insights ⎈

For those who want to understand Japanese domestic life on a deeper level I really recommend this book by Inge Daniels, a brilliant anthropologist from Oxford University who conducted fieldwork in 30 Japanese families and studied their houses. If you're not sure about buying the book, she also wrote a great article about space and intimacy in Japanese homes that explains the concept of "body-directed-heating" that I mentioned in my previous post.
