Twenty-eight restaurants created by 12 different designers, all in Japan, are profiled in this volume. A group of color photos of each restaurant highlight entrances, general layout, special lighting, wall and floor treatment, furniture, and other details. A ground plan, short initial description, and descriptive captions are provided for each restaurant, making this a useful resource for designers. Distributed in the US by Tuttle.
