Les intérieurs japonais se caractérisent par leurs contradictions : des concepts ultramodernes et complexes sont réalisés avec des matériaux traditionnels dans une gamme de coloris réduite, tandis que la relation de l'Homme à son environnement est tantôt harmonieuse, tantôt conflictuelle. Ces intérieurs présentent néanmoins certaines constantes : style minimaliste, tons généralement chauds et clairs, solutions inattendues apportées à des problèmes récurrents.  On trouvera dans cet ouvrage une sélection des meilleures réalisations japonaises contemporaines en matière d'aménagement d'hôtels, bureaux, bars, restaurants, boutiques et espaces privés. Ces exemples illustrent la créativité impressionnante des architectes d'intérieur du pays du soleil levant, qu'ils soient débutants ou professionnels confirmés.
