The main one - Landing: table, chairs, sofas should be to lower the massive legs, and best of all at all without them. Historically, this is due to the danger of earthquakes in this region. The Japanese situation is a good reflection of the principles of minimalism - in the room should be only the most necessary furniture. We should not forget about functionality. In the eastern interior is not a lot of chests of drawers, dressing table. It is better to use objects-transformers, which can serve as a table, and a chest of things.

Visually, the furniture should look succinctly - a simple form without unnecessary decoration.

Engravings depicting cherry blossoms, birds, bamboo, textiles with traditional Japanese ornaments enliven and soften the strict asceticism of the Japanese interior.

Selection of items to decorate the large - Japanese lanterns, paper lamps, flower arrangement, fans, thin elegant vases and boxes. The hardest thing - to resist all this magnificence, and not to turn his apartment into a low-grade sushi bar. It is better to replace it periodically accessories, upgraded interior, than to put all at once.
