"Breaking the Japnaese living space down into its primary elements--shoji, partitions, miniature gardens, and so on--Ueda reveals the patterns and sense of harmony behind the myth. He discusses, for example the ways in the which the shoji screen exploits natural light to create a pleasing sesuality; the way decoratied sliding doors and moveable partitions define and enhance one's sense of space; the functions of the miniature garden as viewed from insidea as well as out.
