Foreword / Charles Moore -- In praise of shadows.
In Praise of Shadows is an essay on aesthetics, which describes the collision between the shadows of traditional Japanese interiors and the dazzling light of the modern age. It covers architecture, jade, food, and the use of space in buildings.
Translated from the Japanese.
