てい着ち落 Japanese interior architecture is a unique style that has evolved over centuries and has been
influenced by a variety of factors, including Japan's geography, climate, and cultural and
religious traditions. The key features of Japanese interior architecture include simplicity,
natural materials, and an emphasis on the interplay between light and shadow.

One of the most prominent features of Japanese interior design is the use of natural materials
such as wood, bamboo, and paper. These materials are often left untreated and are used to
create a sense of warmth and connection with nature. Japanese homes also feature large
windows and sliding doors that allow for plenty of natural light to enter the space.

In traditional Japanese architecture, rooms are separated by sliding doors called shoji, which
are made of paper or fabric stretched over a wooden frame. These doors allow for flexibility in
the use of space and create a sense of privacy while still allowing light to filter through.
Another characteristic of Japanese interior design is the use of tatami mats, which are made
of tightly woven straw and are used as flooring in traditional Japanese homes.

The concept of "ma," or the space between things, is also an important element of Japanese
interior architecture. This refers to the space between objects or between rooms, and is used
to create a sense of flow and balance in the space.

In summary, Japanese interior architecture emphasizes simplicity, natural materials, and an

DA2 interplay between light and shadow. The use of shoji doors, tatami mats, and the concept of
"ma" all contribute to creating a sense of harmony and balance in the space.
